where you can have a situation where you came make an original reggae track, blow up, and then have the Marleys comes for you all because it REMINDS you of Bob.

Copyrighting styles???

Got To Give It Up was a Ska/soul style that was not prevalent...the fact that the rhythm and swing of the song stands out more than the actual key, melody an harmony to the average listener shows that these music cases will only get messier. The Gaye Estate basically copyrighted that ska/soul sound that acts rarely do and blow up on.
