I listened to both songs, and was leaning toward Satriani’s side until the chorus, where it was absolutely obvious Coldplay stole the tune. Hit the :50 second mark on If I Could Fly.

With that said, I’m not sure I agree with a lawsuit over it. There has to be some protection against some idiot rebranding just anything, but these are both great songs.

It all comes down to the honesty of the band and whether they’re too proud to admit they incorporated someone else’s work into their own.

No wonder Chris Martin has been complaining about being followed by a moon shadow lately.

“mine, mine, mine”

Sorry. Can’t allow that here. It’s a blatant copyright infringement of a line in Fining Nemo. Or is it Finding Nemo?

Cheers!

@F.Palmer:
if only that could be popular in the media… people *might* get the sarcasm and realize the stupidity of suing people for something similar (like Lindows and Windows and M$ sued over a name).

People need to chill! They act like children in the playground who can’t get along with other children “mine, mine mine.”

Oddly, this past weekend, while discussing the consumption rates of North Americans in general (primarily focused on food but our consumption in general is extremely excessive), we concluded that we North Americans are the seagulls of the world; eating, shitting, and squawking, and adding to that “mine, mine, mine.”

No insults to those who are not excessive, just a general trend readily noticeable in the North American population.
