Are these the Americans who were too proud to vote for Hillary, cause you know, she's bad/immoral/typical politician/whatever and somehow failed at statistics to realize that the other side that was bound to vote in full force to reach their goal?
"But still", my ass. You were given reasons why your reading is too narrow. So how about responding to those instead of simply restating your claim as if you'd scored a point? You haven't.
So, why do they get away with it? I mean, how come they just get to focus on "feel" or "groove" if it's simply not protectable subject matter under copyright law?
Just picture this exchange mentioned in Steve Jobs' biography:
"I said okay. That might work," Ellison said. "But Steve, if we don't buy Apple, how are we going to make any money?"
Ellison went on: "Steve stopped walking and turned toward me. We were facing each other and he put his left hand on my right shoulder and his right hand on my left shoulder."
Jobs then said to Ellison: "Larry, this is why it's so important that I'm your friend. You don't need any more money. ... I'm not doing this for the money, I don't want to get paid. If I do this I need to do this standing on the moral high ground."

If they really factored in hypothetical licensing earnings when calculating costs for their movie they probably should get a better accountant next time.
