Legal side of a mixtape

also the Pharell/Thicke v Gaye decision was not about notes being the same but that the two tracks had the same feel - the musicologists called by the plaintiffs never asserted similarity at the note/rhythmic level beyond feel/groove

That's is 100% False.
You are passing along a rumor someone else told you. You did not read that in an actual book. If you read it at all it came from a website that wrote whatever they wanted but had not fact checked with the actual copyright office.

I'll help you understand how that is incorrect with the latest lawsuit.

Songs were used containing samples without permission. They were given away for free.

The law says that only the owner or creator has permission to create or distribute work both physically and digitally - unless a contract, agreement or license states otherwise. Regardless of profit or purpose.
