Musicians of today vs. the past era, More Good where?

There may be some of you who think that the former days were better musicians or more powerful than today's musicians. I myself think otherwise. How? Yes. For me, the musicians of today is relatively better and more powerful than the old musician. Why?
Here's my logic. The more days and as time went on (the), of course, the number of songs that will create more and more. Similarly, the music arranger. Today (when you read this), surely the number of songs and musical works far more than 10 years or 20 years ago. Agree? Just imagine if there are now approximately 1 million 1 million songs or musical work is created (from ancient times to the present). It might even be so much more than that.
For that reason, the challenge of the musicians in this day and age is much heavier and larger than the musicians in the old days, say 20 years ago or before that time. Musicians today have to be extra creative and extra rack my brain to create works of music (including songs), which is approximately worth considered original. Just a little note or a bar with some songs that have previously existed, might be considered plagiarism.
That is quite often experienced by musicians today. Plagiarism accusations often come to them. Though they may not know the original song that is considered similar to the songs or their work. Okay if they already know the original songs or have heard the original song. But I still applaud their creativity (although a bit cheated that the tone / rhythm song that already exists), they still can pack it into something new (not 100% the same).
Is not that a creativity?
But what if the similarity of their songs are close to 100% with the original song? I'm not too concerned about it. For me as a connoisseur of music, the importance of the song is good or fun for me. I do not have any business about plagiarism. That's their business as a musician, whether it's music composer and arranger. I have trouble doing ngurusin it?
Speaking of songs that are similar to each other (but not exactly), I give you an example of Malu-Malu Mau songs (Super Girlies) and Rival (Berryz Kobo). If you listen carefully, both songs are indeed quite similar. The difference is only in the language in the lyrics and some music arranger. Diatribe about the plagiarism was directed at the Super Girlies girlband considered one of the songs mimic the Japanese. Including the Japanese concept promoted by the girlband Indonesia.
My opinion? I do not care about the plagiarism issue. For me, the important songs fun for me. In fact, I salute the songwriters and Malu-Malu Mau peracik music arranger. Their work is good enough for my ears as the audience / listener of music. The hell they are considered cheating song from Japan. Thus even when I respond to the problem the similarity between the song Best Friend Forever (Cherry Belle) with the song Kissing You (SNSD).
Suppose I own a musician (composer and arranger or composer), I could not necessarily result in or create works that are 100% original. Different day and age with 10 or 20 years ago. If there are musicians who deliberately imitating or cheat on some part or the tone (of the other songs are already there), for me it does not matter. The important thing is they keep trying to be what one mixes a fresh or new. That's where the challenge. Their creativity tested in situ.
Why plagiarism is considered creative?
For me, plagiarism is when we replicate 100% without modification or development. So, if there are musicians who deliberately mimics some of the tone, bar, and the rhythm of the song that was there first, they are not plagiarism. Especially if they can produce new work better than the original song that they made as a source of inspiration. Better example of the musical arrangements, lyrics, dynamic tones, harmonization of transfer between parts, and so forth.
I really applaud even musicians who are able to mix-mixed many songs to be song / new works fresh or different. For example, when they took some of the tone / rhythm of (eg) 5 pieces of different songs, then they or their racik potion into a fresh new compositions.
Could be, it's not something easy for the musicians. One might assume that there is absolutely no challenge when we want to take "short cuts" deliberately cheating some tone / rhythm song that already exists. My opinion is the opposite. The challenge is much greater, especially for how the songs or music that is produced will be better or have a different flavor than the original song (which is used as inspiration).
Back again to the fact that the more days, the number of songs that will create more and more. Challenges of today's musicians are much heavier than the old musician. However, I strongly applaud musicians who can produce original works of our time. Real example is Lil Widianto. The songs have a sense of its own creation which I think is a very decent original.
Anyway, in conclusion ...
For us as music lovers, try to position ourselves as musicians. Should not be too easy to label the musicians of plagiarism. We may assume that a song / the original work is easy. But we may never feel how hard it is to create new work that is really fresh or not have any similarity with existing work.
If it can, the next challenge is how to work it could be nice to be heard or be liked by music lovers. My question is, Did you able to produce a piece of music it is 100% original and well pleasing to the ear? If you like to sue someone else to produce original work, you should be free from elements of plagiarism.
