LOS ANGELES (AFP) – An American rock guitarist has filed a lawsuit against Coldplay, accusing the popular British band of plagiarising one of his songs on their latest hit album, according to court documents published on Thursday.
Joe Satriani, known for his instrumental compositions, alleges Coldplay's song "Viva la Vida" had "copied and incorporated substantial original portions" from his own track "If I Could Fly" recorded on an album released in 2004.
Satriani's lawsuit demands damages and "any and all profits" related to the alleged copyright infringement.
A representative for the band was not immediately available for comment.
Coldplay's latest album "Viva la vida," released in June, has topped the charts in Europe and the United States. The recording helped Coldplay win seven nominations for the 2009 Grammy awards.
Go to Itunes and listen to Satriani's song first....
and then listen to Viva la Vida. No question they ripped off the melody big time.
This goes for Nickleback, Saving Able, and Atreyu(sp? who care)..., its all bullcrap nonsensical afternoon washed out radio pop bullcrap listening. IOW.....101.5 idiots.

Satriani is just pissed that people don't give a sh*t about him and his Old Ballz and everybody wants Coldplays New Ballz.

Not surprising. Satriani and Steve Vai are the biggest wankers on the planet. I listened to the song there is one part that sounds familiar, but all I know of the coldplay song is what was on the Ipod commercial.
