If you're referring to the similarity between Oasis and 'How Sweet to be an Idiot' by Innes, I'm sure they claimed it was unintentional. I know from personal experience that songwriters can be influenced by something (a little too heavily sometimes) without realising it, until someone says 'Hey, that sounds a bit like [insert other song title] by [insert songwriter]', so I believe that it could well be accidental.
