How to proof copyright infringment

The German rapper Bushido copied some elements from a Norwegian rock band and a French gothic band. The video below which is unfortunately in German shows how the infringment can be proofed. First, the two songs are compared in a music studio. In this example the conformity is 96 %. Then, more conventional, the songs are compared by an expert and the his use of a piano.

After lawsuits were filed Bushido already settled with the Norwegian band.

The video might be interesting even if your German skills are timeworn or were never existent.
