Coldplay have denied allegations that they copied part of another artist’s music for their song ‘Viva La Vida’.
Guitarist Joe Satriani claims that that they used his music for the track, which appeared on their most recent album of the same name.
The case was filed in a Los Angeles court yesterday, and the band’s attorneys said that Satriani’s song “lack’s originality” and the similarities between their song and Satriani’s ‘If I Could Fly’ are not enough to pay Satriani damages. Satriani is saying they used “substantial, original portions" of his 2004 song, reports the Associated Press.His lawyer Howard E King says the response by the band is commonplace in a copyright infringement case such as this one.
