The terrible "Blurred Lines" copyright decision is now threatening Lil Nas X and Cardi B

Blurred Lines is nothing like the My Sweet Lord case. In the latter case, there should be a chilling effect for people who dream up exact replicas of someone else’s song. You can still copy it, just give a proper writing credit for ripping off the exact melody line. Do it subconsciously, like Mick Jagger did to KD Lang’s song? Give a writing credit.
