Did AppleTV steal the arrangement from Postmodern Jukebox's arrangement of 'Creep'?


While Rozzi does a good version of the song--it is arranged almost exactly as Scott Bradley and Haley Reinhart's Postmostern Jukebox's version. Hey--nothing wrong with getting inspiration from other people's work. They are both using Radiohead's song, but not at least attributing the arraignment is wrong of AppleTV.

Newsweek:  Did AppleTV rip off Postmodern Jukebox?  BTW--Rozzi was unaware of the issue and did not pick or arrange the song:
The official Postmodern Jukebox Twitter agreed. "PMJ fans - please do not go after
@thisisrozzi on this one, this is between us and the producers of @TheMorningShow. Rozzi did a beautiful job, and it wasn't her decision to sing this." 
In a statement to Newsweek, Bradlee pointed to the limitations of current copyright law. 
"I think this is important because copyright law hasn't caught up with technology. I can't copyright an arrangement of an existing song—no matter how unique or specific that arrangement is. At the same time, most people agree that there is something ethically gross about a major TV studio copying someone else's hard work and then selling it for profit, without any credit given to the person that did all the work. I saw a screenshot of the credits and they credited two other dudes with the arrangement instead—even though our version from years ago had 69 million views online. That's pretty lame," Bradlee said.
