And you get into pretty absurd situations: Whatever the status quo on this matter is, I think we all agree that the integer 0 is in the public domain. And also the following algorithm: (0) let n = 0. (1) Increment n. (2) Go to (1).

But this will, in time, generate every copyrighted material.

Indeed. The only possible conclusion is that all copyrighted material already exists since all numbers already exist. Artists are just people who discover interesting and really big numbers through the convoluted process of "creation". After the number is found, all bets are off.
