I'm gonna name my band an 18 TB string of random characters, interspersed with an "idea" that you can't even put into text! Take THAT, Unicode!

- eyelidlessness 4y agoHi are you Fiona Apple and if so can we be friends?
- javajosh 4y agoOoh, that gives me the idea to name my album the base64 encoding of it's tracks. The album itself, of course, would be empty.
- akira2501 4y agoI believe you would no longer be able to copyright the track, then. So, you should encrypt the encoded titles, but record an audio track that is a voice recording of you reading out the encryption key for that track. You know, for DRM.
- seba_dos1 4y ago> I believe you would no longer be able to copyright the track Why? I'm not sure about US law, but here in Poland it would definitely still be copyrighted (even if you'd be effectively granting an automatic implicit license to use that name for the purpose of referencing the work).
- akira2501 4y agoMy logic is that you cannot copyright a fact. It is a fact you released an album, and it is a fact you titled it such. I'm free to reproduce that information, say in a catalog, without violating copyright.
- seba_dos1 4y agoBeing able to reproduce something in particular context without violating copyright does not mean it's not being copyrighted.

- labster 4y agoIt doesn’t matter if he can copyright it, he can still sell NFTs of each album track.
