Give a Brief Historical View -
The first recorded appearance of copyright was in 1710. You can use copyright law on: Books, Songs, Brands, etc. You can sue people if they take your name, or words from a song. An example is: Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" which sounded exactly like Queen w/ David Bowie "Under Pressure". Another example is One Direction's "Best Song Ever" copying a guitar riff from The Who's "Who are You".
Consumers and artists have different opinions over copyright. Artists would be forthcoming about reinforcing their copyright as it gets them money. The consumer would care as much as all they want is cheap music.
