I am a big fan of you Neverdie but,
This song at 55secs and on words (

Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (

I hope you have checked the copyright out on this ..
Best of luck though !!
( sorry don't mean to be a " male part "
I left EU a while ago, and occasionally check out the forums just to see what's what, and here's the thing, your post is so unfair and misguided that I had to log on to set you straight.
I am a composer, and I have perfect pitch, I am also part of the international copyright organisations.
Both tunes are in a minor key, and the similarity between the melodies you point out is a four step descent in quavers (in the aeolian mode) at the end of a bar, at a similar tempo. I can see why to the layman's ear this may sound similar.
However, in Neverdie's song, this four note scale starts on the tonic, in other words the first (or eighth.. same thing) note of the scale, and in the other song, the scale starts on the third (or tenth.. same thing again) note.
So Neverdie's melody uses the following steps of the aeolian mode: 8-7-6-5, and the other song uses these steps: 10-9-8-7
Basically this means the melody is different, because the notes are at a different relative pitch, so your accusation of copyright infringement is quite unfounded. A melody, according to international copyright organisations, is a combination of rhythm and pitch, and in this case the rhythm fits, but the pitch doesn't. Maybe it would be nice if you withdrew your accusation!
All the best
