I am not saying that it isnt similar, I am not saying that they didnt take it from Satch's song. I just don't think it is intentional. My band has a song that we played for a long period of time and once we recorded it and I played it at home my wife comes in and says "Since when do you play covers?" I couldnt understand what she meant before she played my own CD with The Darkness. The intro was not 100% the same but so similar they could be the same song for the untrained ear. The tone, the tempo, the chordprogression... I know for a fact that when we wrote the song we did not have their song in mind so the "copy" was not intentional. But since I have played that CD so many times I find it quite possible that we unintentionally got the riff from that song. The rest of the song sounds nothing alike but still... I just find it very hard to believe that a big band like Coldplay would deliberatly steal a song from a famous artist, simply because they should know they wouldnt get away with it. They don't need it.. Should we really have to spend enormous amounts of time with every song we write checking from where we got the riff/melody/chordprogression? I also find it hard to believe that Coldplay did steal the song intentionally...but I also find it hard to believe that it is a pure coincidence because of all the variables that need to settle in, in order to be plagiarism.So I don't know what to think really..I don't think its a clear case (as is with Garry Moore case) so we'll have fun seeing the results of the court case.. Regarding your song, as you said its just the intro in case and its not 100% same...I'm sure no one would even have grounds to file a suit (there are rules how much of the song need to be same/similar)...There are songs that sound similar and will always will be like that , but there is a clear border I think when things get too similar and need to be taken to court... Regarding composing, I believe if you don't intentionally copy something you will be clear..If you compose a song and think of a WOW part and you believe in it (don't know it from some famous song) you're OK..It never occurred in my songwriting to check out songs to see if there is one completely same out there I wrote an original piece (at least in my mind) so I'm satisfied with it...Of course I have sometimes hit some things "that were done in other songs" but I instantly discarded those parts and tried to make more original ones... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Yeah but also it is important where this case is as in America it might be different to here. Maybe Satch is trying for the death penalty hahahaha you never know |

Maybe you're right guys I just thought it was on Satriani to prove the similarities between the two songs, and that it doesn't matter if somebody did it intentional or not..In order to claim plagiarism..But since I'm no lawyer I can only guess

This adds a bit of a twist to the whole thing.
