Everyone is always like, "A band no one has ever heard of before" Hello??? Duh! To cover up a crime more easily, you won't go stealing from the President's house, you steal from the guy nobody has ever heard about. Obviously nobody will believe them. It's not the first time that Coldplay have used Melody's from other artists. Violet Hill sounds like a raggea song I've heard before, but It's still a good song. Whoever's more famous isn't important. In the end art is art and plagiarism isn't right, no matter who you steal from. I believe what the Creaky Boards say.

Well, not anymore. And that brings up the question, wich is suitable for every band cought to crib - how many songs are actually theirs... Shame, shame... I use to like Coldplay. Well, not anymore.

Anyone who knows about the songwriting process would have to agree. The melody and lyrical timing are too close to be a coincidence. It is a direct lift. Wow. People in the music business getting taken. Who'd of thunk... These guys got ripped off. Anyone who knows about the songwriting process would have to agree.

They probably just want attention for their band. I think the songs are pretty similar, but I don’t think they have a case. They probably just want attention for their band.

The chord changes are pretty much identical, the melodies are very similar. He could have a case. Intent is not a prerequisite. Coldplay could be found guilty even if they'd never heard the song by Creakyboards. They're both pretty good songs, though------ There are specific criteria that have to be met to prove plagiarism in a court of law.
