Joe Satriani's Lawsuit Against Coldplay Dismissed

Coldplay had been sued over allegedly copying a song from Joe Satriani, titled “If I Could Fly” for their song “Viva La Vida”.

Satriani claimed that the band plagiarized his song and I believed it, as well, due to the similarities in both. The case was dismissed yesterday in a California Court.

NME reports, “Now, according to News.justia.com, the case was dismissed yesterday (September 14) in California Central District Court “upon stipulation”, suggesting that an out-of-court settlement may have been reached.”

That’s the end of that.
