And this is why music copyright is BS. Not because the idea is bad on its face, but when copyright can be bought and sold, argued over sequences of five notes, there’s a problem.

Yes. The story to Bittersweet Symphony was much more petty and angering than I had imagined.

One would imagine that once you have the first two, the marginal expense of getting more is negligible.
They don’t appear to be difficult to feed or care for (beyond “don’t expose to carbon monoxide”).

Other suggestions include the Azores, again, making 3 sets of Azores on the same maps, Newfoundland, and Portugal, again, displaced to provide a home for the 7 cities.
