Coldplay Fights Back!

In a US federal court, Coldplay has denied any similarities between Joe Satriani’s If I Could Fly and their hit Viva La Vida, fighting Satriani’s December copyright infringement lawsuit.
Adding arrogance to douchebaggery, Coldplay also claimed that Satriani’s piece “lacks originality” and should therefore receive no copyright protection at all.
But Satriani’s lawyer said that Coldplay’s response is typical and that he felt like the situation could have been handled without legal action.
What he meant to say was Coldplay’s response is typical of someone married to a wet sock like Gwyneth Paltrow.
