> monthly fee for access to a loop library. Except all the loops are rip-offs of other peoples hard work and there's no effort to compensate them.
the analogy works if there were an open access library of music (restricted licenses tho they may be…) that was available to search and browse without the tool
then an auto-composer could suggest music to fill in gaps in my own composition, using snippets of audio from the otherwise freely available library
that's a plug-in I would pay for too, but yea if my "no commercial use allowed" melody made it into someone else's composition, I would want my license terms to be surfaced to them as well
except I personally wouldn't want to live in a future where every line of code has to have some claim of "who authored this function first" or "who wrote this melody and rhythm first", pursuant to licensing terms in perpetuity. that sounds terrible.
