Coldplay: Who's Really Writing Their Songs?

Coldplay to Satriani: Get Off Our Backs!

You decide... :?



One user commented (made me laugh): "If this were sufficient for infringement, Queen would have won a lawsuit against Vanilla Ice."

In fact, the song should have been called:

Coldplay Ft. Joe Satriani - If only I could fly to Viva la Vida!


No kidding... As a fan of music, I'm the kind of person who knows that, someday, we'll be unable to create new song theme... I mean... there's only 7 notes in music... Try to always put a note a different way in everysong is something I think will become hard soon.

Joe Satriani should just forget it, he's the best guitar player on this planet. He doesn't need to sue them. He does it for the money, because Viva la Vida has been on the top 10 for many weeks. As now, this is a well recognized song. Maybe Joe just wanted to promote his "If I could fly" song?

Just my opinion.

And, as I always say, everybody can have my opinion. :P

There is also:

Opinions are like the flu, that's not because you have one that you have to share it with us. :D

Apparently, if you make a song but change a sylable you can pull it off because it's not copyright so for instance...

Original: I like Ice Cream and Fast Cars
to
Copy: I Like Ice Crean nd' Fast Cars

This would be allowed.
