Since there is no way to 100% protect digital assets

I have spent 2 days reviewing some old territory for digital asset protection, and some new strategies as well, and there truly is no 100% proof method to protect digital assets posted for internet viewing, on any web server, at any time, in any way.  

Digital image and music assets, particularly original works created expressly for use with original digital games, can be ripped in some way, no matter the method of obfuscation used.

So, to the potential rippers and hackers of my to-be-launched game, I send my greetz to ya all and expect you to kowtow to my greatness as a creator of such wonderful art and music that you need so desperately to rip, hack and pass of as your own or to make money from it for yourselves.  I pwn you all when you do that.

Cooliojazz's PMusic JAR app (UPDATED)

UPDATED:
Well, let me be frank.  I tried quite a number of randomly-seeded generations.  There is definitely similarity across results in terms of chord progression and rhythm pattern.

This is one of the better procedural music generator apps I have come across to-date.  (Of course, I prefer freeware apps to begin with, therefore I cannot comment on commercial music generators, as I have not purchased any yet.)

The creator of PMusic goes by the username Cooliojazz.  He has made it available in the Omnimaga discussion thread linked above.  The app is distributed as a Jar file, which launches and functions fine in my computers running Windows 8 (64-bit desktop) and Windows 7 (64-bit notebook).

Unfortunately, the jar file cannot be used on my iPad 5, iPod 5 nor iPhone 4.  neither can it be used on my Blackberry Playbook.  Why ? The answer is simple: These tablets do not run Java, which is required for Jar files.

Too Bad !  Got to generate the music using my Windows machines only !

Important note:  For the sake of disambiguation, I ought to mention that the term "PMusic" has been used in so many different ways for so many different things on the internet, that I doubt any one party can claim the right to use that name.  A simple Google search will return diverse results for the term "PMusic".  So, always search with a second term "cooliojazz", and that gets you closer to what you want.
