It's one thing someone ripping off an idea wholesale, but a song that sounds a little bit the same but has a totally different mood and feel to it...Where's the harm? Were people accidentally buying the Sam Smith song thinking they were getting the Tom Petty song?

I can hear Youn guns (wham) in that Bruno Mars track also! but i may just be nuts.
Apart from lining the pockets of Tom Petty (and co), I don't see what good it serves going after a perfectly respectable and credible songwriter/ singer just cos a song sounds a little bit similar. Strkes me as mean-spirited and/ or mercenary.

I suspect much like the 'My Sweet Lord'/'He's So Fine' lawsuit against George Harrison, it probably is just an unfortunate co-incidence. Harrison could have chosen to plagiarise a significantly better song had he been looking for inspiration.
I don't mind Sam Smith at all - and I love Tom Petty's stuff.
