December 28, 200817 yr Actually, there are other threads out there dealing with this topic and I believe this topic was discussed in the plagiarizing thread.
January 5, 200917 yr i just realized something... joe satriani is a DOULBE-WHACKER! i was bored so i was just looking things up and look what i found!!! "Despite Coldplay's worldwide popularity, the band has remained protective of how their music is used in the media, refusing its use for product endorsements. In the past, Coldplay turned down multi-million dollar contracts from Gatorade, Diet Coke, and Gap, who wanted to use the songs "Yellow", "Trouble", and "Don't Panic" respectively.[70] According to vocalist/pianist Martin, "We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we sold the songs' meanings like that."[70] The song "Viva la Vida" was featured in a commercial for the iTunes Store, advertising its exclusive availability of the single as a digital download on iTunes.[71] Coldplay are supporters of Amnesty International.[72] Chris Martin is also noted as one of the most visible celebrity advocates for fair trade, supporting Oxfam's ongoing Make Trade Fair campaign.[73] Martin has been on trips with Oxfam to assess conditions, has appeared in its advertising campaign, and is known for wearing a "Make Trade Fair" wristband during public appearances, including at Coldplay concerts.[74] The band were also filmed for Make Poverty History, clicking their fingers. In the band's early years, Coldplay was also widely noted in the media for their claim to give 15% of the band's profits to charity.[75] Bassist Guy Berryman said, "You can make people aware of issues. It isn't very much effort for us at all, but if it can help people, then we want to do it."[72] The band also asks that any gifts intended for them are donated to charity, according to a response on the FAQ section of Coldplay's website. Martin was outspoken against the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and he endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004.[76]" (from wikipedia) yeah, if joe satiani gets the money they made for VLV, thats also taking away quite a bit that could be going to charity:angry::inquisitive: had to share that:smug:

January 28, 200917 yr What a fucking prick You know I used to kind of like this guy, and he has just completely lost any and all respect from me. What a sad, demented little cry baby
January 28, 200917 yr isn't this, like, the 12th time they were sued over viva la vida? Don't worry, everyone just wants the money over a good song.
January 28, 200917 yr what an ass. coldplay doesn't deserve this bull. i'm sure since he has no actual evedince they'll be fine. and Coldplay Junior's right, everyone's just looking for some attention/money. fuck em'. :dozey:.
January 28, 200917 yr I'm surprised that it is stated as FACT on an OFFICIAL document that "Coldplay copied bla bla bla..." - how on earth is it a FACT that they copied the wanker's music? Surely it's nothing more than an opinion? Or is it a fact that it is Satriani's belief that they copied? I don't understand.
February 4, 200917 yr Viva La Lawsuit: At the Grammys?? You know that Gwyneth Paltrow’s husband, Chris Martin, is nominated for a bunch of Grammys this Sunday with his group Coldplay. Their song, "Viva La Vida," is tipped to win big as is the album it comes from. But Martin and his bandmates may be looking over their shoulders this Grammy weekend. The reason is that a lawyer representing musician Joe Satriani is sending teams of process servers all over town to hand them a plagiarism lawsuit. Now, don’t shoot the messenger here: Satriani is claiming that Coldplay lifted his 2004 instrumental, "I Just Wanna Fly," for the basic melody of "Viva La Vida." Coldplay disputes this, and has issued a rebuke on their website. But that hasn’t stopped Satriani or his attorney Howard King of King Paterno et al. The firm claims that Coldplay has dodged being served, and that the Grammys are the easiest forum at which to strike while the iron is hot. King says, "We have warned their British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers lined up to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them." King even promises to have camera crews roaming around with the process servers to get the whole thing on tape. What’s Coldplay’s way out of this mess? Maybe the easiest thing would be to just accept service and let a court decide what happened with "Viva La Vida." http://www.foxnews.com
February 4, 200917 yr Really? I mean come on, what a bunch of wankers. They are acting like children. If they were truly serious about the whole lawsuit, then this would be done completely professionally and out of the public eye. But of course, because they have a weak argument against Coldplay, Media power and public attention can't do their case any harm can it? Tossers.
February 4, 200917 yr Seems that they are real stalkers! And they have a bad intention I guess! Come on , they want to penetrate Coldplay at the Grammy´s!?? :stunned: This Satriani folks should give up and admit Coldplay´s succes !!!
