I saw an article on that way back on 5 Dec. - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20081205/1146593034.shtml

and I've been wondering if I should post anything about it or not. I still haven't gathered all my thoughts on the subject.

Well, I do think that this isn't just "some coincidence." Yes, it is true that many songs share chord progressions (particularly in Western harmony) and that sometimes notes will fall similarly. But, this sounds like blatant plagiarism, not an ironic coincidence. When you have chords, melodies, and rhythms that fall almost exactly the same, that is no coincidence, and I think Satch should make an example of Coldplay.

Of course, I can't stand Coldplay, and I love Satriani, so maybe I am somewhat biased. However, even in the court of public opinion, it is fairly obvious that Coldplay isn't just "paying tribute", they are outright stealing.


As a side note, this is where the real danger of copywrite infringement and theft of intellectual property is. It isn't in someone getting music for free. It is in blatant plagiarism.

Or was it Roth that prognosticated,"Hear 'bout it later"?
