I'm with John, If you could copyright a chord progression, every 50's song in the catalogue would be liable.

People are inspired by others all the time. If you want to use the circumstantial evidence of "they heard it from us" on tour, you could use the same argument for anything that sounds like Chuck Berry, so all your early Stones songs were stolen.

Everybody who ever played a pentatonic scale for a riff might have to pay chuck something.

How bout this for circumstantial evidence? imagine....that Spirit heard Jimi Page doodling on his guitar this sequence, before Jimmy completed the whole song. Lets say it was an ide he had brewing for a long time. But he started doodling and played it at rehearsal. Then Spirit hears this and writes their own song, and completes it first.

That's what your dealing with. He said, she said.

Hey im for the underdog, and if I knew the truth about it id be furious too. But as outsiders we don't.
