Folks it's as simple as this....

If you have lawyers and money involved.... nothing is ever going to be simple and concise. They make their living in the shades of grey.

Write your song. Let the chips fall where they may. Don't intentionally use copyrighted material and you'll probably be ok..... most of the time.

If you do get served with a lawsuit.... get a good music lawyer and .......welcome to the grey side.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
