The bloodsucking score

Remember the times, the few years after American Beauty won some Oscars? Don't you just hate how much the films score was plagiarized in other films, commercials and TV series? I say plagiarism because I feel that's the best way to describe it, even though it legally isn't that. I'm right now sitting behind my TV, on my computer, Heartbreakers is showing. I won't even bother watching this movie, but I'm sitting here listening to the score and I'm pissed off. Why do professionals do this? This is blatant plagiarism of Thomas Newman's original score from American Beauty. I can also hear some Danny Elfman stuff here and there, I'm not sure if he was involved in the score, he did compose the theme song. This cheap trend has pretty much ended but every now and then you hear those sounds of shameless bloodsucking with Thomas Newman screaming in pain in the background.
