The first song is an early Peter Paul and Mary version of a traditional song. The second is a John Lennon song?

No judgement. Musicians steal from each other all the time. Any other examples of blatant plagiarism?

Here is another one if you listen.

Beautiful dreamer the original song.



The plagiarist.

I don't get this one, but apparently it stood up in court (what a load of w@nk).

Well that just about covers it. Good post

one thing to add, mashups often take the original and the plagiarised version and mash them together - because they work, obviously.

^^^ Best version of Vanilla Ice's song IMO.

Britney apparently plagiarises her own songs. (You don't have to listen, in fact better you don't - just posting the proof)

So if you steal the whole song it's called a "Cover Version"?
But
If you steal a Riff or a couple of Chords it's called "Plagiarism"?

OK.
