My favorite radio station told a story about a musician claiming Coldplay copied one of his songs. This isn't a new thing. Many unknown bands claim that "so-and-so" stole their music and didn't give them credit. It usually turns out that the unknown band just wants to 'get known'.
When you think about the number of possible notes/chords, as times goes on, someone is bound to come up with the same combination/sound. There's just so much you can do with the musical scale.
This story reminded me of one of my favorite music combo's. Two great songs, blended to make one great song.
Green Day/Oasis - "Boulevard of Broken Dreams w/ Wonderwall"
(yeah, a little bit of Eminem and Aerosmith too.)
