I'm not sure but from what I understand the 2 melody lines need to be very similar for a certain period of time and we're talking about 8 seconds rather then a full verse. I haven't taken a super close look at this sort of copyright issue simply because I think that this is a Satriani publicity stunt. In all outcomes of this case I see him gaining the most and losing the least. If Satriani wins I think we'll see a few more cases like this coming out of the woodwork. BTW what's the deal with woodwork? Where's the wood? Who's doing the work? Why is Satriani coming out of it? -Voyno Copyrighting a melody line?

Can you copyright a melody like that? I heard that Satriani song, and it is pretty alike at that certain part. Can you copyright a melody like that?
