Since we're on the topic of copyright with our latest round of reading (and if you're musically inclined this could be interesting too), I thought some of you might be interested in reading about the copyright infringement suit from 1976 where the owner of "He's So Fine" sued George Harrison over his song "My Sweet Lord," alleging that Harrison had plagiarized the basic tune. George Harrison lost the case.
A Columbia Law discussion of the case is here, including sound clips of both songs so you can judge for yourself.
Here is another article discussing the long history of the case.
