Satriani Files Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Against Coldplay

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Joe Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit in Los Angeles last Thursday (December 4). He is seeking a jury trial, damages and “any and all profits” attributable to the alleged copyright infringement.  He is alleging that Coldplay’s Viva La Vida track is a rip off of his song If I Could Fly.

Listen to the two songs and then listen to Satriani’s song played over Coldplay’s song and see if you hear the similarities.
