It's similar but not the same. If that's the new standard for copyright infringement then it's going to be really interesting where this goes. I tend to agree with the camp that this will get over turned in appeals.

Music is too mathematically finite (except for maybe Jazz) to make styles copyrighted which is what this lawsuit is about. If so then we are all in trouble seeing how we use a program that is based significantly on using specific musical styles. Of course then again how many of us are going to have a top 40 hit that will garner enough money to make it worthwhile for someone to sue.
