Considering the poverty of invention in most soundtrack music these days, this might be a *good* thing. But then...

Filmmakers and television producers creating original music from musical
building blocks including loops and pre-recorded musical elements has been
happening for some time now. One of the most high-profile themes created in this
way is the theme to the hit ABC show "Alias" which was created by producer J.J.
Abrams entirely using "Reason" sample/loop playback software.

I don't watch much TV, so I don't know what this sounds like, but is this really the same thing as "auto-generated" music?

As filmmakers create custom music with Cinescore, it is expected that they will
claim lucrative ASCAP and BMI writer and publisher performance royalties on the
music they create, as they seek to enhance the financial return from films and
exercise more control over the creation of score music for their films. 

"More control"?  I thought you got that by, you know, *writing a full 
score*.
