Hi Simon - I realize that chords and melody are copyright protected...and of course that's why the match is only by the general feel. Would you happen to know if copyright also protects bass accompaniment and drums ? If so, what are the criteria for avoiding a copyright lawsuit - I have to imagine many, many songs have bass and drums that are very, very similar.

This is probably an area that will only get muddier with AI - I can imagine a person letting AI generate a melody, or bass/drum accompaniment, that is identical to something already out there - and if not identical, very, very, very close.

Of course - legal costs are high and nothing was stolen if not proven in a court of law. If you're a top star grossing millions, I'm sure this risk is almost zero.
