Tricky one, very similar but like a good friend of mine once said "there are only so many chords, notes and combinations of such...."

These comparisons seem to appear every now and again, but I think your friend's quote is entirely valid.

It's a shame so many bands just recycle their own sounds, mind - this one of Nickelback made me chuckle a little - works best with headphones (and worryingly, it doesn't sound that bad):

 

:lol: Yeah that does work doesn't it!

The version I posted has them seperately at first then merges them at the end too, sorry I should have mentioned that.

Ah, I hadn't realised it had got as far as lawsuits, will be watching this one - these things are normally just a few keyboard warriors having a bash!

Sorry, this is not new...

 

i suppose not...but neither is yawning, until done in a swarm of flies.

 

This case is....it's more about this specific case than plagiarism in general which we all know has been around forever.
