of course i was talking about DIFFERENT songs and not about the limitation of adding seconds to an existing song.
and of course the song shouldn`t just be a collection of tones. at least it should have SOME KIND of structure/melody.
sure you can make a track that consists of all songs you know. and you can still clame that it`s a new combination of tones...but i was talking about originality.

Well, it's nonsense. They probably argued that the set of all songs is
countably infinite, but thats still infinite. Say you make a song with
the duration of one second, they I can always make a different song, I
just make it one second longer.
Arguably maybe there's far less melodies, however, it's going to be an
awfull lot of them still...
