I own the copyright. Would prefer if you attribute, but don't mind you using it.

IANAL but that is not the impression I get from reading your terms and conditions.

A comment on HN is not "expresly provided in these Terms of Use" and don't think would constitute "express prior written permission." If you want to let people use it in their streams you might want to update the language there.

Yeah you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do to update it
Are copyrights valid for generated music/images/whatever?

I remember reading a book a while back that presented the idea of computer generated patents to ensure you own every aspect of an idea.

Seems a little nuts that someone could create a program to generate nearly infinite output then claim a copyright on all of it.

I showed the audience the website and mentioned it was randomly generated music a few times, hope that's OK :)
yeah that's cool, thanks. What's your stream?
