Hi Lynman,
I'm not sure how you fit into this issue, but I'm only replying to the Jim Brickman issue which was more or less a carbon copy of Nelson's song.
As far as similarities in a riff (or similarities in general), I wouldn't give that a second thought.
I'm sure all of us have similarities with other composer's music. We're all using the same raw materials. It's gotta happen. Let him without similarities cast the first stone.
But when it's such a close match as the Brickman/Nelson matter, that's another story altogether. It would be difficult to convince me it was accidental that Brickman mistakenly copied note for note (including the bridge) of Nelson's song.
Best, John

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
