These were cases where she completely wrote to someone else's track, which is totally fine, IF you give credit to the other person for their share i.e., writing the music. Otherwise, it's plagiarism.... ask Robin Thicke as well.
Just as Petty went after her that she couldn't use the chord sequences in his track for her song, Lindsey could have done the same for Wild Heart.
She also changed ONE word in Seven Wonders and demanded a share of the credit/royalties.

yup. Lindsey should have probably gotten a songwriting credit for a majority of her FM output. remember them working on Angel? "IF we keep your melody there" - meaning in the past many times they didn't.
isn't it funny how Stevie cult likes to insist how yeah Christine has 3x as many hits as her, but she is credited for their only #1, Dreams? guess what, Lindsey should have probably gotten a co-write for that one.
he was just too nice too naive and too stupid to demand it.
