- tjr 5y agoIllegal copying in music composition focuses on melody and lyrics. Reusing similar grooves, chord progressions, instrumentations, etc., is commonly done in many genres. It might stand out more in music like this, because, in the worldwide history of music, this sort of synth-pop-funk-disco-whatever was reasonably isolated to a few years. Compared to, I think similarities in, say, blues or baroque music doesn't stand out as much, even if in fact there might be a lot more in common between pieces.
