The music in question was played in an episode of season 4 of X files. The season began running October 4, 1996. The "Thantos" theme in Evangelion was first released as a single October 25, 1995, necking ahead of X files out by almost a year.

Also, the X files theme only seems to be playing only part the harmony of the song. Never is the harmony every played in it's entirety and the melody heard in Evangelion is never heard at all in the X files series.

Just one sequence in this piece that is somewhat similar to one in Thanatos.

For all I care that could just be coincidence. Saying it's a copy is really going a bit off. And you don't even seem to know for sure who composed this, so what is your claim really based on? Does the theme in 0:23 sound similar? Yes. Does the rest? Absolutely not.

It might be a copy, but it's certainly not bad.

Also, Eva uses a lot of preexisting classical pieces modified.

It is better to steal something good then to invent something bad
