You are pretty naive as then as there's not much in music that hasn't been done before and the same goes with jokes. The music industry has always been ripe with plagiarism and it's increased twofold since the advent of digital music as today's pop music is largely based on artists stealing from others. I listen to a lot of metal music and it's hard to find an original guitar riff anymore and there's plenty of stuff in the genre that's recycled.
