I came across this news this morning - it's quite amusing. An Indian filmmaker has been accused of plagiarising one of Leehom's song in a Bollywood film and Mr Wang is taking legal action. Read on:

Taiwanese singer Wang Lee-hom has accused an Indian filmmaker of
plagiarising his music and is seeking $320,000 in damages. Lee-hom, 33, a
US-born singer popular in Southeast Asia, is seeking damages from Tips Films,
distributor of the Hindi film Race, which was released in March, Sony BMG Music
Entertainment Ltd said in a statement.“The lead song in Race - Zara Zara touch
me, resembles Wang’s song Deep in the bamboo grove (Chu Lin Shen Chu). Its
rhythm and tempo are similar to that of Deep in the bamboo grove. The similarity
is nearly 100 percent,” added the statement. Sony BMG said it reserves the right
to take legal action against distributor of Race for plagiarism.In the film,
Zara Zara touch me was picturised on Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif.Race, also
starring Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor, Sameera Reddy and Bipasha Basu, has been

soundtrack has also been released in these countries.Deep in the bamboo grove is

Chinese-language songs released in Dec 2004. The song mixes a Tibetan woman’s
singing with hip hop and Chinese drums and flute.Source: Music NDTV
