Panda/MCR plagiarism

The famed Mexican rock band Panda is accused of copying music from the American group My Chemical Romance. All over the internet people post blogs and even create sites that talk about this, this may be one more. The songs Disculpa los Malos Pensamientos, Miedo a las alturas and several other riffs from Panda are presumably plagiarized from MCR. But MCR has also "copied" music from Panda and the proof are the songs: I don't love you, Demolition Lovers and other riffs. But the truth is that plagiarism is a crime that artists can't get away with. If Panda would have actually copied whole songs like people say, wouldn't they have been punished for this? The fact that their music is alike is just a coincidence, because it is very unlikely that MCR goes to Panda concerts to listen to their music or that they buy their CDs. But it is irrefutable that some MCR music is similar to Panda music, so I guess that whether there is plagiarism between these to bands is up to you to decide.

Here are links to some videos about the topic:
