I wait for a program that generates all the copyright content in existence. It will automatically not generate copyrighted and pubic domained content already.

The business model is automatically sending notices claiming copyright infringement. Youtube automatically sends you money. Collection societies give you a cut from their racket. Most of the money will initially go towards lawsuits where I can demand up to $100,000 (highest fine in the world in USA, even if it's non-commercial). All part of the good ol' effort against the piracy economic bogeyman.

Bonus: USA is known to steal works from public domain 'as part of being treaty obligations' and thus, since Mickey Mouse. Copyright will never expire.

I'm a pirate because intellectual property is flawed and the next piracy will be 3D printers. http://reprap.org/wiki/EndOfIntellectualProperty

Look to China for how businesses is done in a country with no regard for IP. Microsoft sells cheaper software and better services. Copyright companies isolate China from rest of world under region restrictions, etc.

I wrote program for that, will this do?

    for x in chain.from_iterable((product(*repeat(string.ascii_uppercase + ',.!? ', n)) for n in xrange(1, 2**32))): print ''.join(x)
It's currently limited to 4GB though. I am also afraid it will produce content that infringes someone elses existing rights.
