Jumping UP an entire FIFTH is hardly the same as dropping DOWN a single NOTE then dropping down another single note. In what world are these two even remotely similar?

> This doesn't even make sense. It's like saying that referring to a 18th century invention to invalidate a 2019 patent is a red herring. Music is music.

Point out even one classical music piece were any instrument is used even remotely similarly to how this piece ties together the song. It does not exist. Trimming out a few similar notes used in an entirely different manner for an entirely different effect is like saying Picasso and Rembrandt are similar because they use similar lines and curves.

> No, it only indicates that these persons have a limited repertoire.

Copyright exists for the general public (as stated in the US constitution). If you need an expert to tell you two pieces of music seem to be similar, but actually are not, then there's probably something wrong.

Actually tons of classical pieces depend on a key motif by a particular instrument...

The US constitution is wrong: copyright as it stands exists for fat company executives.
