There are some strict rules what qualifies for a plagiarism..Ex. how many same notes in a row and everything...Satch must have talked to lawyers and prepared before going to court (and thinking he must win) since loosing such case can be very hard on him (financially and morally)...I'm really interested to see development of this case

Well If his song was published officially before Coldplay's song (at it was) its enough of a proof that they knew/had access to the song..They could hear it on radio , internet...I think they can't prove that they never heard the song when these days music is available everywhere..

QUOTE (OrganisedConfusion @ Dec 11 2008, 09:24 PM)  It's innocent till proven guilty though so its Satch that has to proove that Coldplay knew of the song. To say it's on radio isn't enough. It's not enough that Satch's song came out first. That proves nothing. It just shows that if they can prove that Coldplay knew of his song and that the copy is big enough then he has a case. Of course its like that..But thing is , when you publish a song (on a album) you are automatically copyrighting the song in a institution for copyrights...So at that moment you protected the song for a lifetime.(its arrangment,composition,lyrics etc)..Now when Coldplay's song came out there was a Satch song in the "register" allready...Now the Satch will call up to the songs copyright date (to prove that he was the first that wrote the song) and then they should go into considering the similarities and everything...I don't think there will be a criteria of proving that they had listened to the Satch song (while song is worldwide available and could be heard in many places - maybe even in public toilets)...Stating "Not hearing the song" won't make anyone clear of guilty as with other laws you can't say you "didn't know" in your defense But generally I think this case is interesting since the Satch's song doesn't have vocals, so I am really interested how they are going to deal with it in court..

QUOTE (Koopid @ Dec 11 2008, 10:08 PM) If Satch wins this its pretty much the end of music making. Thats my opinion, If we cant make music without listening to every song ever made to be sure we are not close to someone elses music without beeing sued by some whiner than we can all stop doing it. Bad Satch... //EDIT I just want to add that I admire Satch musically, he is a genius and his music should be protected and respected. But in this case he is just a whiner. Coldplay sux Well I'm sure if you don't copy something intentionally you won't have problems..I think chances of you making exactly same song as someones else are very very slim and non existent...What is the probability of hitting the same progression + arrangement + melody (over an extended period of time in a song , over changes) in one song that is so similar to a famous song ? (I'm not talking here about Satch , rather generally)...I think the chances are really slim and pretty non existent... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

As far as I can see the only winners in this are the lawers
