Possibly suing is not that common, but i find music and software 
development extremely similar in terms of creation. Even if you're not 
that much into music, you can glimpse over sites like 
http://www.whosampled.com/ that illustrate it.
Compared to older music - only methods changed (no sampling), the fact 
is still the same.

"Music copyrights" works mostly for corporations that (i think) do not 
help with creativity. Instead of making music, people have to "find the 
right people" and "get their attention". Then, after company invested in 
some artist, they want to have a revenue, so they insist "make a tune" 
which is *not* helping with making art.

Result of "internet revolution" is, that most of small or independent 
musicians are uploading their own songs to youtube for free, because 
most of their profit is throught live acts (again - promotes 
creativity). Many of them use services like Spotify, that pay them for 
every "play". Thanks to it, listeners are free to listen and explore 
what they like, and artists money-curve is less asymptotic.
