I remember a couple of years ago, during another in an ongoing series of online discussions about copyright and digital music, facetiously suggesting that if only I'd copyrighted a composition consisting solely of the note E (scored for any instrument in any octave and for any duration), I could (so long as I had really good and really sleazy lawyers) make quite a living suing everydamnedbody who incorporated, in toto, my composition into their own music.
Well, here's someone thinking along similar lines. And just think: you've probably performed several of their compositions this very day!
(Of course, the problem is - and it might be amusing to write them a legal letter, every bit as serious as their website - it's likely that most of the number sequences were in use well before they copyrighted it. I am not sure, but I don't believe one can copyright melodies in the public domain - an old folk song, say.)
The site is, however, useful in providing a musical score for anyone's phone number, should you need to, say, play it on a synth or something.
