I really don't see much of a point of trying to point out how old country is ripping off other old country. I mean, it's really a lyric based music style.
99% of it uses what is seemingly the same rhythm/bassline. I know there's exceptions but a large portion of Johnny Cash is the same thing. Just as any American-based folk, the emphasis really isn't on the melodies, but rather the ambiance they bring to the words.
With that said, I can't stand Johnny Cash. However, not because he's a song stealer.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.
