Eh. The chorus is a bit similar but that's it. People are really grasping at straws in here at times.
Just because I want to bring this back from the dead... I absolutely love this band and this song, and I look at this as more of an inspired adaptation rather than a rip off since Dustin is a fan of Linkin Park, however around the 3:20 mark, the synth sounds a lot like Papercut.

I've listened to that song (and album) countless times and have never made that connection. I know what you mean though.
Off topic here but I think this song is a kind of a rip-off of Alicia Keys' "No one" but they changed some melody. [video=youtube;ocXjr9nPnvg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocXjr9nPnvg[/video]
Does this piano intro sound strangeeeely familiar to any of you?! [video=youtube;FsfrsLxt0l8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsfrsLxt0l8[/video]
Yes it does! David Guetta is totally ripping off Johann Sebastian Bach or Ludovico Einaudi.

Posthumus NFL remix of Run This Town. [youtube]-F_iGK7Kv1M[/youtube] Or possibly Michele McLaughlin's Perseverance. [youtube]JA4DUQfn7nQ[/youtube] Point being, that's a very common piano line.
Meh. They were in the studio at the same time so I highly doubt Ill Nino copied Linkin Park. They also recorded on opposite sides of the country.
