"Ever notice a song whose melody sounds remarkably similar to some other song?" Then have a look at a list of Similar-Sounding Songs. There's even .mp3's to compare for yourself.
Similar to the above is Disturbingly Similar Songs, which also has .mp3's.
I love Led Zepplin, but they weren't quite original. Have a look at "A list of some of the songs Zep stole from other artists". And a far more detailed look at Zepplin's "borrowing" can be found at Led Zepplin's Influences.
"Oasis has often been acused of plagerism and Noel has never denied his tendency of lending material made by others, but he do not see it as a problem. Plagerism is more like a part of the Oasis style and sound."
The Copyright Website: "These are the sonic outlaws; people who have pushed the audio envelope, allegedly encroached upon another's copyright, and sometimes paid the price."
Over at Illegal Art you can read about, and listen to, Copyright and Music: A History Told in MP3's.
And if you've read this far, you might be interested in Columbia Law School's Music Plagiarism Project.
Since this whole post was about music plagiarism, I should probably admit that I shamelessly stole all the above links from Die Songähnlichkeitsliste, which also features a very long list of similar-sounding songs.
