haha yes I had seen this before and had the same reaction.
but it's unfair to say that all composers are chors like Pritam. Pritam is the biggest plagarist, almost all of his songs are plagarized. Other big plagarists are Anu Malik and Nadeem-Shravan, but they still do have some original stuff, I personally am a fan of those original compositions. Jatin-Lalit have also lifted a lot but again they're original songs are still great. All of Pritam's best songs are lifted so I consider him the worst.
Some composers who are NOT known for plagarising are AR Rahman, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar etc.
Himesh has plagarized very little in his career but every time he does it, it becomes a big news.
ohh and it's just not "everyone nowadays" who does it. big composers of the past like laxmikant-pyaarelal, RD Burman, OP Nayyar, Shankar-Jaikishan etc. have also plagarized. there was no internet back then so they all got away with it easily.
