Melodic Plagiarism: Huge publicinterest, importance for popindustry – little research
Exceptions: Stan Soocher: They Fought The Law,
1999 Charles Cronin: Concepts of Melodic
Similarity in Music-Copyright, 1998

The aim of the study is to explore how melodic similarity
as measured by modern algorithmsis related to court decisions in individualcases
to measure the similarity of the melodypairs in a sample of cases taken from acollection of court cases and
to evaluate the predictive power of thealgorithmic measurements whencompared to the court ruling.

20 cases spanning the years from 1970 to2005 – with a focus on melodic aspects ofmusic copyright infringement.
Creation of monophonic MIDI files, analysis of the written opinions of the
judges, reduction of the court decisions to only two
categories „pro plaintiff“ = melodic plagiarism „contra plaintiff“ = no infringement

How do court decision relate to melodicsimilarity?
What is the frame of reference(directionality of comparisons)?
How is prior musical knowledge taken intoaccount?

Idea: Frequency of melodic elementsimportant for similarity assessment
Inspired from computational linguistics(Baayen, 2001), text retrieval (Manning & Schütze, 1999)
Conceptual Components: m-types (aka n-grams) as melodic elements Frequency counts: Type frequency (TF) and
Inverted Document Frequency (IDF)

Observations: Decision sometimes based on ‘characteristic motives’
High-level form can be important (e.g. call-and-response structure)
Reference point can be different

Court decisions can be related closely tomelodic similarity
Plaintiff’s song is often frame ofreference
Statistical information about commonnessof melodic elements is important

More US cases UK and German cases (from the “big”
western markets) Include rhythm in m-types Compare to more similarity algos from
literature
