good point

If I use a ii V I progression in my music, who gets compensated? I find most of co-pilots suggestions are similarly basic. Any lawsuit about whether an artist used a few of the same chords or a snippet of melody has been totally asinine IMO, like how all the money from "the thong song" went to ricky martin just because he was quoted for one measure.

when I write a few lines of code myself, should I search GitHub to make sure no one else has included the same algorithm in their codebase before slapping my own license on it?
