Sometimes plagiarism can benefit both parties. The Doors had to pay royalties to The Kinks after pinching their riff. The Kinks’ Ray Davies: “The funniest thing was when my publisher came to me on tour and said The Doors had used the riff for ‘All Day And All Of The Night’ for ‘Hello, I Love You.’ I said rather than sue them, can we just get them to own up? My publisher said, ‘They have, that’s why we should sue them!’ (laughs) Jim Morrison admitted it, which to me was the most important thing. The most important thing, actually, is to take (the idea) somewhere else.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DV-5d6a5g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4DV-5d6a5g
