When I was young I couldn't understand why Vanilla Ice couldn't use Bowie's bass sequence from Under Pressure. Those are different songs!
As long as you do not go full Pierre Menard songwriters should be able to "steal" from each other.
I miss the late 80s where sampling was supreme - Paul's Boutique, the KLF, pretty much all early house and techno songs heavily sampling from each other.
I do wonder if there is any type of underground scene where this type of experimentation is still happening. Obviously it is near impossible in AI policed venues such as Youtube.
