If I’m unfortunate enough to catch any pop music station, commercial or BBC Radio 1, it’s virtually impossible these days to identify any of the artists or songs being played;
The vocals are almost always some anonymous Male heavily autotuned because none of them can carry a tune in a bucket, and some equally anonymous female rap/singing lyrics that are almost always indistinguishable from all the other songs, with an underlying’tune’ that shares its beat, tempo, rhythm and everything else with every other song.
They are all done by producers, and they’re all copying each other.
A legal situation like this is inevitably going to Cary on happening because there are so many songs sharing so many similar features.

And I strongly disagree. Blurred Lines has a similar-ish feel, but no melodic similarities, no lyrical similarities, or even the same chord progression. All it really has is a prominent cowbell (playing a different pattern) and a bass part with some loose similarities. In terms of copyright, it’s no different from trying to claim that two novels involving vampires are the same thing. The differences are more significant than the similarities.
