Not necessarily.

Law and Practice sec. 7.2.1, p. 8 (1989): "the fact that the defendant had
access so the plaintiff's work and that the defendant's work is similar to
the plaintiff's can form the basis for an inference that the defendant
copied her work from the plaintiff's work".

The plaintiff must only establish that you had access to their work and that
the defendant's work is similar in order to shift the burden of proof you
the defendant.
