With only 12 musical notes available, there seem to be a finite amount of melodic, chordal, and rhythmic combinations before ideas start to get recycled. But where is the line between a song being reminiscent of another, and straight up copy and paste musical plagiarism (known in the legal world as copyright infringement). Today, we’ll dig into this topic and share some examples with our top 3 lawsuit songs! But first, we have a very special guest today - Brian Bricklin!
