Would you call this riff a rip-off?

I just wrote and recorded this, now I'm freaked out that it sounds too much like something else. Here it is - let me know what you think.

EDIT: Sorry about the relatively shit mix, I'm still not all that good yet.

*sigh of relief* That's cool then - I kind of thought it sounded like I'd ripped off Pantera's 'Fucking Hostile' for a minute - I just downloaded it and listened however, and I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear. I'm also pretty sure that there's too much low-end and low-mids in my guitar tone... And that I should give up playing. LOL

Creative 5.1 satellites - although I mix in regular stereo using only the front left and front right satellites.

So, d'you reckon I should be scooping out a wide section of the mids to compensate for larger speakers? Or would a 12Khz+ boost even things up?
