Don't be so sure of that: in music it's now established that getting too close from the "style" of another musician is a copyright violation: https://www.jdsupr

  and this ruling will prove to be a disaster for music creation as there will be fewer copyright free spaces for music as time goes on. a similar ruling will also be a disaster for software as our tools of expression are very restricted. code is based on boolean algebra and predicate calculus, practice guides like design patterns and books teaching algorithms and data structures. there are lots of ways to write bad code and only a few for good, correct code. Recognizing this led me to replicating known working code, code I had created, for multiple employers. so who's copyright did I intentionally violate? I think we are attacking the wrong problem WRT ML and copyright. to me, ML shows the foundation on which copyright is built is a lie. we should use ML to break copyright for code.

    To hell with only focusing on code. We should break copyright completely and take back the intellectual landscape.

  Important distinction - these lawsuits are about copying the "style" of a single song, not a musician's entire output.
