So, I mean, in my opinion it is pretttttty damn close to being a ripoff, melodically and chordally - but the pushback is kind of ridiculous. With the amount of variation possible with only so many combinations of notes and chords, everyone is going to rip off someone at some point.

I think 40% of royalties is more than generous - not even taking into account that it wasn't done maliciously (or she says anyways, who knows). Regardless, the music industry takes these claims way too seriously.

Musicians should take care of each other, share with each other, and honor each other. I realize it's a business but it doesn't have to be so cutthroat. Her song isn't defacing or devaluing 'Creep' in any way, shape, or form. It was released in 1993 for gods' sake - for how monumental Radiohead is, I'm surprised they're sweating it. Apparently their new albums aren't doing so great. 😂
