Not that I agree with lawyers suing over this, but one problem is that the pixel-art nature of the Miles Davis cover is very subtle rather than obvious chunky pixels as is typically done. At one level I applaud that as historically accurate; graphics even in the 1980s weren't as awful as a lot of pixelart implies, but on the other hand I can understand the argument that the pixel art and the original were too close.
