Plagiarism ? That's really a fine line. I remember George Harrison's defense in the trial of "He's So Fine" vs "My Sweet Lord"......'it was subconscious', he swore.
How would one know ?
I have experienced that myself. I'll think I just came up with a pretty cool melody, and then a day or two later I'll realize that it was a complete rip-off of a ,say, John Stewart song. It's terribly deflating.
