But they weren't even in the same key. I would have agreed with you if Katy Parry has "stolen a riff" but she
didn't. The progression was similar....true, but it was in a different key. They were completely different notes. And we are talking 4 measures under the microscope out of an entire song. That's ridiculous. If anything, one could claim "inspired by" but I don't see how it qualifies as plagiarized. I wonder if she could appeal?

It's as if this took place:

Bert609: "I think Land Rovers are good 4wds."

CBer: "Defenders are good Off-Road"

Referee: "CBer, 2-days in the slammer for intent to plagiarize Bert609! You're topic "progression" is the same!"
