Yup.  George Harrison lost his copyright infringment case also.

It's a good thing Bach lived several hundred years ago.  He would be up
to his ears in copyright litigation if he had to put up with such laws.
Our legal system seems to have lost the distinction between theft of
intellectual property and coincidental similarities or using another
composer's material as the inspiration for an original work of art.
