I just suddenly remembered that Ubos was a thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Book_of_SpellsSuch a blatant knock off of Harry Potter I'm surprised that there wasn't a sniff of Rowling's lawyers going over it in some fashion. Another example is the theme song for Scooby And Shaggy Get A Clue: Sound familiar? Any other examples to mention where the legality of a piece of media felt really, really iffy? |

The Offspring Song and Shaggy and Scooby Doo theme are not that similar.
Remember Jimmy Hart's version of smells like Teen Spirit changes like 3 notes so it's not actionable...
There's more difference here than that.
Also would you sue the guy from Devo?

I'm surprised I haven't been sued by any of the female posters here at FAN.

 EDIT: I guess there was a lawsuit after all. I swear, I thought Bowie blew the whole thing off. |

Considering the origin of the story, I am a little surprised no one tried to sue over "Fifty Shades of Grey".

I've seen people sell fanfic for money, then get shocked~ when people report them and get them kicked off this website. The 90s early 00s were a different time, man. We would spend so much time and energy putting disclaimers before every chapter to try to stay out of trouble, and now the fandom scene tries this stuff. lol. Geez.

Greta Van Fleet. There have been tons of bands over the years that sound like Led Zeppelin, but nearly every GVF song is like a Jimmy Hart WCW theme version of a particular Zeppelin song.

Probably because Zeppelin stole most of their riffs from other people and probably don't want anyone looking into it  |
