Two pieces of music can sound very similar or even identical, but they may not be exactly the same due to differences in timing, phrasing, lyrics , and other factors.
In general, copyright law protects original works of authorship, including music compositions and recordings, from being copied or used without the owner’s permission. If someone creates a work that is substantially similar to another work, and it can be shown that the creator of the second work had access to the first work, then it may be considered copyright infringement.
That being said, copyright law can be extremely complex and the determination of whether or not infringement has occurred can depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the specific elements of the works in question, the circumstances of their creation and distribution, and the laws of the country in which the alleged infringement occurred.
