If it was a deliberate rip-off, it was pretty naïve of them - Tom Petty may very well be unknown to much of Sam Smith's audience, but he's hardly obscure.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Orion mid section is a rewrite of Handy by Wishbone Ash.
Bells is based on the riff from Angel Of Death by Angel Witch.
Motorbreath uses a riff from Rapid Fire.
On a Beatles tack though, heard Paul Weller's 'Changing Man' for the first time recently. My first thought was 'Dear Prudence' although it turns out to be an indirect copy, via an ELO track that copies Dear Prudence.

To this

The odd thing is 10538 Overture never really made me think of the Beatles song, but the Weller one does.
Nobody mentioned the case between Ray Parker Jr and Huey Lewis and the News over the Ghostbusters theme?
And why would Coldplay lie anyway? When I first heard Coldplay's "Talk" I went "Bloody hell! They've ripped that off Kraftwerk's "Computer Love"!"*...then I checked the credits of the album and lo and behold they had credited Kraftwerk with a co-write. Why wouldn't they do that again?
(*I only know that as it was the b-side of The Model - first single I ever bought!)
Mind you that's only because it quotes them.
Turns out part of the motif from K/Work's Tour de France quotes Hindemith's Duet fir Flute and Piano. So there you go....
