There's a bad moon on the rise

A few weeks ago, I posted about Fleetwood Mac's new "Peace Keeper" song, and its similarity to another piece of music. As it turns out, although I wasn't the first to comment on this similarity, I was one of the first.

Today, looking through referral records to this blog, I found a recent visit from Bolt, Beranek & Newman Inc., based on a search "rip off of Paul Simon Kodachrome". My first instinct was "here comes the lawsuit". Imagine my surprise when it turned out that this is not a lawfirm, but rather the real inventor of the internet. Don't get me wrong though ... I still think this visit was research into a copyright infringement action-in-the-making.
