Joe Satriani Sues Coldplay for Plagiarism
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/160...coldplay.jhtml
Dec 5 2008 9:27 AM EST Coldplay Sued By Joe Satriani For Allegedly Plagiarizing 'Viva La Vida' Melody Guitarist claims the Grammy-nominated song is a rip-off of his track 'If I Could Fly.' By Gil Kaufman Not long after Coldplay's Viva la Vida album hit shelves this summer, the blogosphere exploded with suggestions that the title track bore a striking resemblance to a 2004 instrumental track by rock guitarist Joe Satriani titled "If I Could Fly." Now, Satriani has accused the band of copyright infringement in a lawsuit filed on Thursday in Los Angeles federal court, according to a Reuters report. A day after the Coldplay album was nominated for seven Grammys, including Record and Song of the Year for "Viva la Vida," Satriani's suit claims that "Viva" incorporates "substantial original portions" of his track "If I Could Fly," from the Is There Love in Space? album. |

That's very difficult to prove in a court of law but I wish Joe all the best.
I HATE Can't Play. |

No shit. Chicks love that band for some reason. Why do so many chicks have such aweful taste in music?

I knew I had heard that song somewhere before -- so once I saw this earlier today, it was nice to learn I wasn't nuts.
Well, at least not when it comes to this issue. MM ~~

In related news, Saliva is suing itself for plagiarism as all of their new songs sound exactly like their old ones.

Yeah, it really did. There needs to me a full-on remix; I'd listen to it a lot.
