It was the opinion of a professional musicologist, presented to a jury, that resulted in the lawsuit being successful. At least with a jury there's a chance of calling bullshit, even though it did not occur in this case.

Jury in pretty much any case is a subpar solution. However, patent or copyright ones are total bonkers to be decided by jury panels.

Leaving justice outcome to chance is rather weak way to 'benefit the society'.

A musicologist that was hired by one of the legal teams. If you are paid by one side of the lawsuit you definitely aren't impartial.

Loads of professionals think that this (and similar suits) are not only bogus but dangerous.
