Bro, we had a 600+ response thread on this board months ago about the exact same topic: music sampling and why copyright is evil. All it descended into was a thread on cancel culture and whether or not China is still socialist.

Comrade? Are you SERIOUSLY arguing that China is a socialist state????

>Because it's suppressing musical creativity
I'm not a copyright lawyer, but you can create whatever you want. Commercialization and distribution is the problem.
>many musicians get unfaily accused of plagiarizing e.g. Ed Sheeran's court case with Marvin Gaye estate.
Didn't stop him from creating the song or his label winning the case

Well that's the point of copyright, to suppress creativity and the flow of culture–in any field, not just music. Music is just among the most obvious examples. Copyrighting a sequence of notes is like copyrighting colors, as Pantone does.

>this bourgeois concept that only makes sense under capitalism is le bad because… erm… something something creativity

Given.
Folk culture competes with private works, so it is in the interests of the holders of copyrighted works to disrupt that.

If you can copyright as many sequences of notes as possible, then you can reduce the chances that people will be listening to some independent work or a competitor by making the composition process a minefield.

intellectual property is petite-bourgeois false consciousness.
