Topic: MY SWEET LORD!!!!!!!

I still have it very difficult about the Chiffons He's so Fine and Harissons My Sweet Lord"
You can hear some "similarity" but a 100% plagiarism?
Didn't they suit George because of his fame? or does anyone here agrees, or disagrees? There are probably thousands of songs like this.
The Doors: Hello, I love you versus The Kinks: all day and all night.
If you base yourself on the fact that the most used chords are A B C D E F G , it sounds logic that a lot of songs are similar.
I even have all The Fleetwood Mac songs, and one of their songs, has an identical intro as the track before. For me it was confusing, I was thinking that I recorded the same song twice.
PURE HYPOTHETICAL: You write a song, but you have a signed contract with a Label, but you change label 1 week later, and the first song composed while you have a new contract with a new label, is almost exactly the same as the song before, ARE YOU FACING LAWSUITS?

Re: MY SWEET LORD!!!!!!!

Re: MY SWEET LORD!!!!!!!

There is a site on the internet about plagiarism
ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/law/library/introduction.html . In fact this is more a kind of University thing, but there is a lot of info.
Is there a chordian who knows more about this item?
