Plagiarism in music
Guitarist files plagiarism lawsuit against Coldplay
Fri Dec 5, 9:18 am ET Play Video Video: Coldplay, Leona Lewis top 2008 iTunes sales AP 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.

I just listened to both songs and I have to admit, I think Joe may have a good case...

They didn't change the tempo, time signature, or key, or melody, or chord progression, or chord inversions.

Here is another Coldplay song that sounds remarkably similar to one written several years earlier by Creaky Boards......

I hear familiarities all the time and, usually, can't place them.
I'm pretty sure some of it is due to mental infirmity though.

George Harrison had to pay some no name group $400,000 because of his timeless hit."My Sweet Lord"
He wrote another song talking about his Plagiarism case, called "This Song" which made him millions.

To each his own, but Coldplay is the most uninteresting "music" I've ever heard. Satriani... now his work is interesting.

Its an old tradition among composers. If not for R. Strauss, no one would ever had heard of John Williams.
