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.
