How can there not be pieces of music that resemble other pieces of music? Outright plagiarism is one thing, but given an infinite number of notes in the Western chromatic scale, it’s inevitable that songwriters are going to create music that is similar to something previously created. I remember reading that George Harrison was charged with plagiarism. The judge found him guilty, but specified that he believed it to be “unintentional.” Patti Boyd wrote in her book that he was so devastated by this that he stopped listening to the radio out of fear of it happening again. How sad is that?
