I don't know how official it is, because it hasn't been tested, but I read somewhere that AI generated content cannot be copyrighted, because a human didn't create it.

I disagree with the extent the legal profession has taken the copyright lawsuits. But of course, what I think doesn't matter.

Copyright law came about to protect the income of the creator. In other words, if I wrote a song, and someone else recorded it without paying me, it would damage my income.

IMO Blurred Lines did not do anything to affect the sales of Got To Give It Up, and therefore should not have been brought to court.

I worked for Motown, opened for and and casually knew Marvin Gaye many years ago. I don't think he would have brought that suit up if he were still alive.

We all borrow from what came before.

“Good Composers Borrow, Great Composers Steal.” — attributed to Igor Stravinsky

I think Thicke and Williams just borrowed the Marvin Gaye rhythm, as Sheeran pointed out in his lawsuit, “We all use the building blocks of music.” And from my experience with Motown, the session musicians we now call The Funk Brothers had as much or more to do with that rhythm as Marvin did.
