As a musician, you’re speaking my language, and music is a great example. To make your point further, there are microtones and even enharmonics (calling the same note different things) so the possibilities are endless.
*However* we also have copyright (and its infringement) when anything more than six consecutive melodic notes are otherwise recognizable. In this way, just because we *can* mimic other types of music, there are boundaries and ethics to keep us from doing so.
In both ways, it’s an interesting conversation to have. Appreciate this, Joe!
