Q. If Coldplay are British, why when they named their song "Life in Technicolor" they spelt it the American way and not the English way?
The Oracle replies:
You can opt for a British spelling with a u but Technicolor is usually spelt the American/trademark way.

Q. If I were to write a book, do I have permission to have references to Coldplay's songs? Is this copyright infringement?
The Oracle replies:
Yes you do, you'd need permission from their publisher (Universal), as they don't retain their own copyright. Even if Chris were writing a book he'd have to credit the publisher for their kind permission to reproduce their lyrics!

Q. kk, 2 questions. #1: My dad won't believe me that the "dancing politicians" version of Violet Hill on youtube is official. Would you mind giving me proof of this so i can win this arguement once and for all? #2 Why is there a delay in posting the LiT ii music video to iTunes? I want to buy it so i can show all my buddies...
The Oracle replies:
#1 Yes it is. The same chap who filmed the Bigger Stronger video made it. Seems both band and director have done pretty well. Mat Whitecross also directed the Lost!/Lost? videos amongst others. #2 Although the single isn't officially released it's on there.
