What if someone has a list of tracks that's the same as a Ministry compilation CD, then adds one track - does that make it a different playlist?

I would add this track (silence) to the end of my playlist https://play.spotify.com/track/3gCqAxfnSNxflYodkSOiFd

I think a judge (if they find merit in the MoS argument) would consider that to be equivalent to adding a blank page to the end of you book you copied.

It seems their main complaint is that the playlists are named "Ministry of Sound" and made searchable by Spotify.
