In music there are just those melody-lines that match. That is not nicking, that's just the way that melody goes. But as well as this time and all the times before I tried to tell you that, you won't believe it.

No I don't.
It's not a matter of "how the melody goes". This is nicking. It's exactly the same chords from start to finish, which makes it nicking. It's not just the same melody, and the youtube link proves it. It has been heavily discussed by many DJ's all over the world how the songs are similar and how the biggest hit of Green Day has been written by Noel Gallagher. Even in interviews Noel has been asked about this so Oasis fans surely aren't the only ones who recognize this. If you don't see this as nicking you're in a big minority as pretty much everyone in the business with a wee little bit of knowledge about music see's it as a rip off.
Saying that Boulevard hasn't been nicked from Wonderwall is saying that the chorus from Bells Of Freedom hasn't been nicked from This Ain't A Love Song.
