It would be like when Creedence Clearwater Revival's producer sued John Fogerty for sounding too much like himself...

I don't know about France, but in the United States, an artist cannot be found guilty of plagiarizing himself/herself.

Finally: Michael Jackson owns the rights to the Beatles' catalog. Does that mean Paul and Ringo can't get together and play some of the old tunes at a concert? I don't think so.
