George Harrison was found guilty of copying a song he didn't know he'd copied
In 1976, a US judge ruled that Harrison's 'My Sweet Lord' infringed the Chiffons' 'He's So Fine' — not through deliberate theft, but because the earlier melody had lodged in his memory years earlier and resurfaced as an idea he believed was his own. The ruling gave a legal name, subconscious plagiarism, to ordinary cryptomnesia: a memory returning stripped of its source tag.
