I doubt that’s how hardly any digital IP protection works. Surely arbitrary encodes or slight pitch/tempo/etc. transformations of a digital music file are not protected if they are deemed to be equivalent to listeners. Surely any mechanical (algorithmic) detection mechanism could be circumvented if you know the mechanism, and yet I’m pretty sure a judge will still just look at it with “common sense.”
