"Obviously, the system of notation you use has to be capable of capturing what is original about your music. As I mentioned in the example I gave below, notation systems can become inadequate and obsolete. But that is a second, separate issue."Where notation is inadequate a recording should suffice as documentation of a composition. In a discussion elsewhere on the topic, someone metioned that in this case the recording was off limits in the trial because the Gaye family does not own the master of the recording and there are elements of the recording that are not copyrighted (the latter is true of sheet music too..). If a change is needed, to whatever extent a recording can not serve as documentation of a composition that would be the change I would make.
The link has evidence presented in the trial of the similarities argued by the Gaye estate, and it is absolutely laughably absurd. Whatever Thicke/Williams paid their defense team, they need their money back.
