    I imagine it's the same as any computer assisted art form. Anyone could generate a poem from a random list of words, doing no actual work themselves (other than curation?). But since they'd be the one who published it, they'd get the copyright.

    And let's face it, securing the rights to a pop song is a pretty dumb reason to risk outing yourself as a technological singularity.
