ColdplayFanatic16 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Plus, COLDPLAY has been giving credits. So, why would they plagiarize?? I think that it's PURELY coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayFanatic16 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 the similarity in the intro thing is there.. but it's not 100% the same. and the 'mood' of the song is definitely not the same?? Seriously, in all objectivity, if this woman tries to sue them, she'll lose the case. There is a slight similarity, yes, but is it worth sueing the band on it? She'd be taking way too big of a risk. And wtf is it with Coldplay and all these similarities with other songs. Its because they're a big intentional band. They think, that's ALMOST almost like mine!! They're listening to me and copied it! Whatever. I think she's looking for some attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinvdooren Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 So this time Coldplay credited everyone, and even then people are trying to sue Coldplay. I can hear that the two songs have strong similarities, but they already gave a source so why the hell trying to sue them tough? :angry: I'm so done with this plagiarism shit.

Well of course, she wants attention, but still, I don't think it's worth losing your credibility over this, and losing a case in court, and having to pay a lot in lawyer fees.

ColdplayFanatic16 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 She'll probably settle it oustside of court. But even if she loses, there will be attention on her. Then hello comes album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djibou Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Meh, I honestly don't think her album sales will get better because of this... not a lot of westerners listen to Vietnamese songs, so really, if that's her attempt, it's pretty much a loss of time and money.

makky_f Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yeah, it definitely sounds similar. But wait, both songs start with two basic minor chords: Am and Dm. Half of the poppy songs for girlfriends are based on that chords. Well, I don't think that's a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I think this is a case of knowing what to look for and where to look. As Coldplay have been accused of plagirism before, their songs are scrutinized like no other. I am pretty sure that so-called "striking similiraties" could be found in a lot of popular pop songs as the hooks are usually basic chords and simple melodies. There is no doubt in my mind Coldplay did not copy this song. They have credited where credit was due all the way back from X&Y era. This will probably make some lawyers happy and someone richer, but it has nothing to do with music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiboy527 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Why would Coldplay big up a song, if they knowingly plagiarized? Doesn't make sense. With Viva, Joe S. is quite famous... wouldn't make sense for coldplay to big up Viva knowing they're gonna get into shit... makes me think they're innocent on both incidents.

ColdplayFanatic16 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not only that, they're really into their music. They take it seriously. They know that plagiarizing is going to get them into serious shit and could ruin them. They didn't do it at all. Plus so many songs sound the same and yet it's only COLDPLAY with a case. There's something going on here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viki Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Erm its not like the intro isn't a mainstream arrangement.. I swear I heard it in some Disney movie. LMAO I love how everyone tries to sue Coldplay. and FAILS. Well she'll get the attention alright, but in the end its just a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinvdooren Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Joe Satriani didn't fail ... No he didn't fail, but I don't think that he was right blowing the thing up like he did. So in my opion he failt on that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentina Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 well the intro is really similar, but the whole song is totally different. There are so many songs that really look alike and have the same arrangement, but this is music, there will always be songs pretty similar or a riff which reminds another song and mostly it's a coincidence. Now it seems like that everyone has been picking on Coldplay since Joe satriani issue and I honestly think that since Coldplay is one of the greastest band in the world,it's an attempt of minor artists to take advantages and get more attention by the media. Joe Satriani didn't fail ... Joe satriani didn't fail, but ihe didn't even get what he wanted as I know there was a kind of agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 If you read the article it's only the introduction that they're citing, but it makes up the entire sound of PoC. Even if it was done without intent there's no denying the similarity and I'm afraid she has a pretty strong case, I'd say even more so than Satriani. This will cause major problems for the band, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivet Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 oh shit! lmao. Coldplay: Not plagiarizing your music since..... well, we hope AROBTTH (i mean who knows!?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbery Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 it seems like coldplay doesnt know how to write their own song really. Soo many songs of them are stolen....for example Life in technicolor...listen to Nirvana all apologies (acoustic), they even admited that they have plagarised Trouble from Elton John, Yellow was from a song from BUlets from my valentine( i have heard it myself) , Viva la Vida as we know also the song Paradise go to the song inyoutube and search for the very first coments somebody left a link of the original song and that oooooo part is all stolen see it urself and now this damn Princese of china come on where iS THE ORIGINALITY...i am so dissapointed P.S and there were other songs that are literally stolen by our band :( but i dont like tho think about it cause at the moment i cant remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
