So I have a buddy who made a song to a beat that was used by a commercial artist and the song itself is getting alot of attention. He wants to take it further but I fear that down the line he will have problems with it being a used "industry" beat.
I offered to make a similar beat that can work around his song, but be close to the original beat he used. I need to know legally how far do I have to take the song away from the original to prevent issues later on.
Also the beat he used is very, VERY simple... Standard bounce drum pattern, about a 7 note melody and a 1 word sample.
