Monolith

An interesting philosophical and practical exercise in attempting to define copyright with digital data.

Monolith takes two copyrighted files, and produces a new file that contains no elements of the original files - but as long as you have one of the original files, the process is reversable to re-construct the missing file. If no element of the original digital data was present in the Mono file, copyright cannot apply to the Mono file.
