[QUOTE="BombedOne, post: 636428, member: 300998"] Yes. We generally can divide similarities in songs of various artists into 4 categories: 1. Accidental plagiarism (George Harrison's song) 2. Legally purchased sample/phrase (Most of Will Smith's songs, say - Man in Black is based on "forgive me nots", Getting jiggy with it - on Sister's sledge's hit and so on). 3. Tricky plagiarism, but with copyright problems avoiding. There are international rules that define plagiarism. If I remember correctly, it is counted as plagiarism, if 4 beats in sequence are re-used. So it's very common practice to use 1-2-4 beats original, but insert the 3rd one slightly different, to avoid copyright problems (example: Ricci E Poveri - Sara perche ti amo vs. Madonna - True blue). 4. Direct plagiarism. Fragment of song, being completelly riped. Example - Cutting Crew - I just died in your arms tonight vs. Mika - Relax. [/QUOTE]
