Earlier this week, a representative for the Seoul Broadcasting System charged than an Indonesia's version of the hit television drama "My Love from the Star" was not a remake, but simply plagiarism of the original.

 But as long as there have been copyrights, charges of plagiarism have plagued the entertainment industry. Here's our list of the top five most infamous plagiarism cases in US history.

5 Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie Ripped Off by Vanilla Ice in Ice Ice Baby

Vanilla Ice had a few strikes going against him. A white rapper in early hip hop, Vanilla Ice struggled to be taken seriously. His signature hit, "Ice Ice Baby" brought him to the charts, but also exposed Vanilla Ice as more than a little derivative. Seems the bass line from "Ice Ice Baby" was just one note off from the 1981 hit collaboration between the band Queen and the artist David Bowie, "Under Pressure." Maybe Vanilla Ice thought no one would notice, the song barely registered on the charts, only hitting the Number 1 slot. It was also the first time Bowie collaborated with another vocalist. Sure, he'd nabbed John Lennon to play guitar and do a vocal echo on the hit song "Fame," but Bowie and Freddie Mercury shared the lead on "Under Pressure."

The bass line in question came from the fingers of Queen's bassist, John Deacon and had been called one of the most popular basslines in rock music history. Vanilla Ice wound up paying Queen and David Bowie damages and Freddie Mercury and David Bowie were given songwriting credit for the sample. Not Deacon? It was his line that drove the jam.

4. The Chiffons: He's So Fine Copped by George Harrison in My Sweet Lord

1963. It was a big year for The Beatles, the group had just conquered all of Europe and was casting an eye across the pond. In America that year, The Chiffons, a rock and roll girl group, hit the top of the singles charts with "He's So Fine." The song was written by Ronald Mack, produced by Bright Tunes Corporation and stayed at the toppermost of the poppermost for four weeks. "He's So Fine" is considered to be one of the most recognizable 1960s rock and roll tunes.

In 1970, George Harrison threw off the competition from John Lennon and Paul McCartney that buried so much of his songwriting and hit the studio with his first post-Beatle solo album, "All Things Must Pass" (Harrison recorded two solo records while in the Beatles, an album of electronic sounds and a movie soundtrack.) Harrison had so many songs left over from his Beatles years that he needed three discs to put it all out. It was the first rock triple album. Of that backlog, the biggest hit was "My Sweet Lord," a devotional song to Lord Krishna.

"My Sweet Lord" was the first song by a solo Beatle to reach #1, but people noticed that it sounded a lot like The Chiffons' "He's So Fine." In February of 1971, Bright Tunes Music sued George Harrison for musical plagiarism. The case went to court and the trial became a highly talked about, and reported, issue. It was one of the biggest plagiarism trials in the history of music. The courts found that George Harrison "subconsciously" copied The Chiffons single and he had to pay up. It was a big loss and dug into all the money he made from "All Things Must Pass." George Harrison mocked himself and the situation on his song "This Song" from the album "33 and a Third."

3 Huey Lewis and the News' "I Want a New Drug" Scared Up By  Ray Parker Jr. in "Ghostbusters"

Huey Lewis and the News, who Elvis Costello called root beer rock after they backed him on his first album, had a string of hits in 1980s and early 1990s. The band's most successful album was 1983's "Sports." It yielded four Top 10 hits in the United States, including the single "I Want a New Drug." The song was written by Huey Lewis.

In 1984, Huey Lewis was called in to do some music for the movie "Ghostbusters." Huey said he was too busy writing the soundtrack for the film "Back to the Future," which gave his band the a #1 hit single, "The Power of Love." The "Ghostbusters" gig went to Ray Parker Jr., wrote and released "The Ghostbusters Theme" in 1984. It hit Number One on the U.S. singles chart for three weeks.

Huey Lewis heard the Ghostbusters theme and sued Ray Parker Jr. for copyright infringement. It seems the song's melody very close to "I Want a New Drug" and the guitar riff was even closer. The case was settled out of court in 1985. Ray paid off Huey Lewis and they promised never to talk about it again. Well until 2001 when Huey Lewis commented on it during a VH1 interview and got sued by Ray Parker Jr. for breaching confidentiality.

2 Sara Bareilles "Brave" lifted by Katy Perry in "Roar"

Katy Perry got hit with plagiarism charges after listeners heard strong similarities beween her song "Roar" and Sara Bareilles' song "Brave." It seems the chord progression was the same. Katy Perry never talked about the similariaties but Bareilles tweeted at the time "All love, everybody. All love."

1 "Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry redone by The Beach Boys as "Surfin' USA"

Chuck Berry is rock and roll's first guitar god. He had his first hit in 1955 with the song "Maybellene" and duck walked through dozens of charting singles. Three years later, in 1958, Chuck Berry hit the charts at Number 2 with "Sweet Little Sixteen," a song about a rock and roll fan who's got to be back in class after hitting the Paramount, probably. In 1963, The Beach Boys released a hit single called "Surfin' USA" that not only copped the melody, but also the rhythm and the guitar leads as Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen."

"Surfin' USA" was The Beach Boys first hit single, hitting  charts in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Sweden. But The Beach Boys didn't credit Chuck Berry for that signature guitar. Brian Wilson was listed as the writer. The case didn't go to court at the time but Chuck Berry confronted the Beach Boys years later and was handed the copyrights by Murry Wilson.
