I'm kinda confused by the ruling. Would this be applicable to other forms of art like music? Plenty of musicians sample or remix from original songs, but maybe it doesn't apply here.

Often royalties get paid to the original songwriter/composer when this is done, as well as a citation.

Yep, technically there was one note different. But it wasn’t enough to make a difference, the lawsuit still made him attribute Queen and David Bowie.

Huh. I didn’t know that. There wasn’t any financial penalty for him though, was there?

Idk about penalty, but he ended up buying the rights to the song for a few mil I believe

I don't know if he actually did. He said he did, but I don't think it's true.
