Now to literally set this into motion and create movies which don't exist and claim copyright on those movies. Keep it up long[0] enough and produce a movie which _will_ exist or _does_ exist.

Substitute movie with your choice of medium.

[0]: Longer than that, even

"Creating movies which don't exist" is the same as "creating movies".

Nice one, reminds me of L-Space in the Discworld books.

"Additionally, one can read any book ever written, any book that will be written at some point and books that were planned for writing that were not, as well as any book that could possibly be written." [0]

Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters can produce a work of Shakespeare.

I remember there being an archive that indexed a random stream of numbers from which you could download a range of random bytes, the idea being theoretically everything can be found within the dataset. I think it was done in protest of copyright or something like that.

I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

Do monkeys really produce an uniform distribution of keystrokes? Humans don't, and they're also primates.
