There has been a rising trend in the music industry of rightsholders bringing claims of copyright infringement where they believe that there are similarities between their song and the defendants. This has had a direct impact on the creative process for composers, who are now often recording their entire song-writing process and seeking expert advice from musicologists before releasing their music in an attempt to avoid claims of infringement. This trend rises against the true nature and purpose of copyright – which is to strike the right balance between protecting and encouraging creativity. Instead, copyright is being used as a tool for over-enforcement, causing a chilling effect on creativity.

This research analyses cases of music copying and the legal tests for copyright infringement, advocating for the proper interpretation and application of the law to curb this trend. This project focuses on academic arguments presented in literature as well as educational tools for the music industry and the public to better understand the rules around copying in music copyright.

The aim of this research is the make the rules around copyright infringement clearer to music industry people, and to analyse these legal tests, advocating for their need to be appropriately applied by the judiciary in the context of modern music consumption and creativity. It is therefore relevant to policymakers, judiciary, lawyers and hopes to change the impact of this trend on songwriters.
