So if I'm personally inspired by a Drake song I heard and use that memory and inspiration to create music in a similar style to Drake, I'm a criminal? Why does the kinds of tools/software used to create the end product matter at all?

Weeknd, by his own admission, heavily channels Michael Jackson. I'm no lawyer but singing style and voice don't really seem copyrightable at all.
