September 25, 200916 yr i never accused coldplay or shynola of plagiarism - if you think i did, where? all i did in fact was send a letter to coldplay’s management asking if 'the bizarre set of coincidences between our videos was, in fact, just a coincidence'! a “yes they are” would’ve avoided all this! That's like the most realistic thing I've ever heard! :stunned: :dozey:
September 25, 200916 yr Author I am a friend of Andy J Gallagher’s & feel compelled to defend him in the same way that you all feel the need to defend Coldplay. I hope you will at least take the time to read what I have to say in his defence. Andy never said that Coldplay/Shynola copied his video – the media have blown it up out of all proportion, ‘quoting’ him from interviews he never gave, creating headlines like, ‘Coldplay in another plagiarism case’ and so on. I know how passionate we all get about music but I have been upset by a lot of the comments that have been made about him. I know you probably won’t believe me after the things you have read this week but he really is a genuinely nice guy! After this experience, I for one will take the things I read with a pinch of salt from now on!

I know you probably won’t believe me after the things you have read this week but he really is a genuinely nice guy! After this experience, I for one will take the things I read with a pinch of salt from now on! I do believe you that this thing has been blown way out of proportion. The thing I simply don't understand is, why he contacted Coldplay's management and not Shynola as it is obvious, that they are the creative heads behind this video. Plus his first point from his last statement doesn't sound very likely to me. If someone asks wether the similarities are coincidental or not, it is not very probable that he will be satisfied with a simple "yes, they are".
September 25, 200916 yr I'm sure Andy Gallagher isn't that bad, but hinting at Coldplay plagiarizing is asking for media attention, especially since Coldplay has had so many plagiarism cases in the last year. The media just make big stories out of nothing, it's sad, but it's just the way it is.
September 25, 200916 yr He knew that by dropping the name Coldplay into the mix, more attention would be put on the matter...media whore! :angry::rolleyes:

Bringing Coldplay into the equation is surely only for publicity/monetary reasons.

September 25, 200916 yr When I google Andy Gallagher the first thing that pops up is a page about a fictious character from Supernatural.

September 25, 200916 yr This has been so blown out of proportion, everyone just needs to take a chill pill.
September 26, 200916 yr Well atleast he isn't persisting that it is plagerism, he isnt that big headed. but tbh mentioning the words Coldplay and new plagerism case to the media is not good, especially when they're just out of the viva one.
September 26, 200916 yr i dont even get why he sent the message out in the first place.. even if coldplay management were to send him an email back saying "yes they are" what would that have done...send that message was pointless..he knew the answer already! plus the whole thing could have been avaoided if he didnt send the email out in the first place!
