I could name several hundreds of songs in my collection where artists could sue the other artist though... the line of plagiarism is indeed a blurry one, and one that is tainted with greedy artist trying to take from greedy artist and vice - versa... its messy indeed.

But like almost everything these days, there are blood sucking lawyers to take care of that.

So screwed up. And i think it pretty much hurts music as a whole,I mean, why would you bother to write something, for fear it sounds like someone elses? Then if you think your song sounds too much like another's, you'd change it, probably end up messing it up in the process.

Ugh, God I just hate human nature sometimes...
