> I agree it’s more effort but the metric isn’t effort so I disagree that qualifies the coefficients as copyrightable.
I know the metric is no longer effort. But there's a lot of creative choices that I've mentioned that greatly affect the coefficients, even if we don't know what those creative choices are going to do to each film grain in the photograph or coefficient in the matrix.
> You don’t own copyright to your normal dumps
Yes, there's an explicit exemption in LOC's guidelines for things that are the direct output of natural processes.
If you have a lot of choices affecting output, then the output is subject to copyright. Indeed, the Supremes above said that factual contemplations can qualify if they involve a "minimal degree of creativity".

In the end, we'll see.
