The practice of copyrighting music is generally accepted, as a means of protecting the intellectual property of musicians, but some criticism has been raised, on the grounds that it becomes trickier to compose music when you have to avoid composing anything that might resemble some copyrighted piece of music too closely, which results in a lawsuit. George Harrison ran into this problem with his song "My Sweet Lord" which resembled an earlier song, "He's So Fine" which he was not deliberately trying to copy. It has been suggested that as more and more music is copyrighted, it will become harder and harder to compose anything that is original enough to withstand a copyright violation lawsuit.
