I'd suspect not.
I think programs cannot hold the copyright of the output they generate anyway.

There are only so many combinations... someone was goign to do it eventually!
Perhaps one could argue that whoever created the program/algorithm would own the
copyright to the melodies it generates.

I am no lawyer, but I think the Berna convention most countries adhere to does not work that way.
If you train a monkey to take pictures, the copyright "belongs" to the monkey. Since the monkey can't hold a copyright, the pictures the monkey
(Sorry to say the trained monkey is a tool, but in practice he more or less is, so...)
I was going to say, a monkey is a living thing whereas a piece of software is not.. I guess that wouldn't matter? What would it mean for a piece of software to own a copyright?

Well, a monkey here has barely more rights than a hammer or power drill.
If a kid breaks into your farm and starts beating the pigs with a stick and
Not sure if it has been overturned yet, but for years there has been a push to remove a law that allows the use of deadly force to protect property after sundown. This was orginally a cattle rustling law, but also carried over to any possessions being removed your property. IIRC there was no cash value attached, so you could shoot a person in the act of taking spare change from your car. Repo men have been fighting to get this changed, since part of
their job involves recovering property, the owner could claim they didn't know it was a repo man.

Before the Castle Doctrine was made law in Michigan, the rule was attempt retreat. The judges then agreed if you are in your home, you are in your final retreat or castle. The rest is decided by the forensics guys.
well they are hundreds of dollars. and require a subscription. i went with arlo cams.
anyways, if you cut the power, the internet goes and no workie.
If someone is going to oceans 11 me, cut my power, and rob me, they will soon find out that it was not worth the effort.
what effort? a pair of wire cutters and a 1/4 inch nut driver... clip the lock thing on the meter base, remove the locking ring, open the base, pull the meter, done ;)
by the same token, wifi and cell signals can also be easily blocked... the transmitter power doesn't have to be that strong, either... it only needs to block/overwhelm the targetted system(s) and prevent comms for some time whil the action is taking place... granted, it is an unlicensed transmitter and t
