This guy is nowhere near the “World’s most prolific DJ” I’ve never heard of Him, and I run in those circles. Interesting reading though.

I think prolific in this case is more the "Super Whizkid DJ Creates 100,000 Tracks in a Week" sense -- not in the sense that you may or may not have heard of them...

I'm surprised to learn that copyright doesn't take into account the length of notes, which to me is part of what makes melodies unique.

This may be a consequence of copyright law being developed in Europe. The European musical tradition is mostly concerned with harmony, and less with rhythm. A musical culture focusing on harmony would be most of the African traditions.

I think you missed the joke!

Saying something absurd isn’t automatically a joke that I am expected to get. This is humor on the same level as typing the N word in all caps or just lying. It’s not funny, it’s not clever.

lol what

Edit:

  pro·lif·ic (adj)
  marked by abundant inventiveness or productivity
It's just a fun title for his article about programmatically creating millions of remixes, thus becoming a very prolific DJ. That's the entire joke. It doesn't seem equivalent to "typing the N word in all caps." I'm sorry that your sense of humor is simply too refined to understand us uneducated peasants' jokes.

Also you really just made a throwaway to insult someone's article?
