Good artist copy. Great artist steal. However, in this case, I'm hard pressed to believe it's a case of either.

#22I was wondering, does Shazam can differentiate well between these two songs? I'm not entirely sure about the internal working of it, but was curious to know how these pattern recognition apps can help in this.
Also, reminds me of the Silicon Valley where Richard was able to disproof Patent troll by using his music/search app.

#23This reminds me of Under Pressure and Ice Ice Baby, the latter also having to pay up.

#2416 notes in the same sequence? that's too big of a coincidence
You are not a musician I take it. If you play punk style music, you are playing 8-16 of the same notes in a row. 16 notes are nothing.

This sort of feels like the start of the music business's version of patent trolls. I think this verdict devalues music and hampers creativity.
New business model: have an AI generate every chord progression in every tempo, release the "songs" on your own label, and sue everyone who releases a song after you.
I've always wondered if someone could copyright strike most of YouTube by having a channel filled with permutations of various sorts of ambient background noise.

#27On the plus side, looking forward to the coming total legal meltdown of country music

Is there a legal counter to this? Frivolous copyrighting?

In that case, the baseline was directly ripped off, it wasn’t just “sounded similar”, it was an actual sample.

What's the half-life of the byproducts of reaching litigational critical mass?
