[Hobbayne]

Wasnt some other kiddies pop singer sued by Tom petty recently for plagiarism?
Mind you, its not new. Poor old George Harrison was sued for My sweet lord years back.

I'm actually surprised that they found two hit songs that weren't written by the same team of 15 writers and producers... #oldcynic

[cheddatom]

just had a listen (as I've nothing better to do at work) and the chorus melodies are basically the same. Whether or not that's copyright infringement I wouldn't know. On the face of it it seems a bit pathetic, but if I heard someone playing one of my songs on the radio, making loads of money, and I was convinced they'd copied it, I'm pretty sure I'd do the same.

So essentially they heard his song [i][b]Photograph[/b][/i], and they thought, "[i]Wow! That's [b]Amazing[/b]![/i]"

I tried listening to both but ended up punching myself in the face to relieve the audio assault!

Whiny male vocal with acoustic guitar...how different can it get in the bed wetter genre (as it was described on radio 5 today)

Given that material for the bed-wetting genre is churned out on a big music conveyor belt on the Moon, I think the two songs are actually quite different. I think the 'Amazing' people are trying it on, somewhat... boo, rubbish!

Insert Robert Johnson song and derivative blues works of choice. State that you are a descendant of Mr Johnson and consequently claim copyright infringement in all blues songs from all artists. How long before this one plays?
