Just like the recent ruling on Sam Smith’s Stay With Me, which copied a melody from Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.”

That was settled out of court though, and Tom Petty got a writing credit on the song.

The best plagiarism case of all time has to be Fantasy vs Fogerty where John Fogerty is accused of plagiarizing........himself.

I thought that did not go to court, so there was no ruling ... just an agreement to make Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne co-writers.
