Aril Brikha accused Shlomi Aber of plagiarism

Aril Brikha accused Israeli techno producer Shlomi Aber of plagiarism. The Swedish musician reports that Aber's composition "Efrat" was copied from Brikha's recent work "Groove La Chord". After comparing the beats, chords and sound of both tracks, Aril published a long indignant letter on his Myspace blog:
“After I received an e-mail from a myspace visitor who noticed the similarities between our tracks, I decided to check if this was true on the beatport website. And I was surprised by the really strong similarity of our compositions, even though the sound quality on beatport leaves much to be desired. I then checked Shlomi’s myspace and discovered that I was in his “friends”. I listened to the composition “Efrat” again and realized that it was almost exactly copied from my work "Groove La Chord"..."
Some time later, Shlomi heard rumors about this accusation and he immediately commented on it on Aril's personal blog:
“Perhaps the sound of my composition is a little similar to “Groove La Chord”, I think Aril used the same presets. I can just as easily accuse the millions of other compositions that I find on the Internet of plagiarism that contain the same sounds as my tracks. But you should understand that if we use certain sounds, this does not mean that we own them. If you check, you yourself can find a large number of compositions that use the same presets, but never individual sounds will be labeled with the name "Shlomi Aber". I wonder which German producers can refute this, given that they all use the same programs and tools?
It is not yet known how this situation will be resolved. But there was no information about filing a lawsuit.
The compositions can be listened to on the official websites of the musicians:www.myspace.com/arilbrikha→
