Artcore

Thanks everybody for your opinion. Much appreciated! So I boiled down the issue to: 1. The chord progression is very similar, but it is not a copyright-able feature. 2. The phrasing of the melody is almost exact. My question is, although the issue is 'hard to win and not so copyright-able', do you guys agree with me that the above conclusion is just enough for somebody to brought up the case to the public to prove the morality of 'the composer'?? Another question is, my friend tell me that the theory behind those very similar chord is 'counterpoint', is it so? What is the music theories that's going on to describe the similarity in those 'chords and phasing similarity'? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everybody, I'm new here so if I post this in the wrong section please advice me. And English is not my 1st langguage so pardon my grammar. ________________________________________________________________________________________ My Topic is: Can anybody here please help me identify the similarity between these two songs? 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG--QGXqnlM 2 - There's a national controversial issues going on in Malaysia where the first link is our 55th Independence song. People accuse it is a plagiarism version of the second link, but most of the accuser fail to explain the similarity in musical terms. Maybe we can discuss here whether there is a case of plagiarism between these two song? if yes, maybe you guys can help me on describing the similarity of these two songs from more musicians terms and perspectives. Thanks in advance
