Cat Stevens should not be complaining about his perceived copyright infringement. Cat Stevens took the music for Morning is Broken from copyrighted and published music from Lewellyn Gomer aka Professor Gomer LL. Jones of Michigan State University. Stevens not only took this tune which was originally a Welsh folk tune and called it his own, he also used Dr. Jones's musical arrangement. Dr. Jones didn't sue because he couldn't afford to. Stevens used the arrangement note for note, not just something that sounded like it. He never credited Jones or the Welsh tune.
