Alizee - Coldplay - Joe Satriani

Well after much internet noise over this subject something has finally happened.

Coldplay is being sued in Los Angeles federal court for copyright infringement by Joe Satriani.

The newspaper Chicago Tribune article dated December 5, appears to be shocked by the first line in that article. "Coldplay being sued for plagiarism by -- hold your breath -- Joe Satriani?"

Readers here are not so shocked recalling the post dated August 31, 2008 in which we mentioned Joe Satriani along with a video.

Hmmmm, I see the Tribune Company was seeking bankruptcy protection today. Maybe some of their advertisers would like to advertise here! Now there is a shocking thought.



UPDATE from reader Ruroshen:
The Sun UK has also posted a story on the Satriani lawsuit, with an added bonus: Lili gets mentioned in the second paragraph of this story, and JEAM is linked at the bottom along with If I Could Fly and Creaky Boards (another previous song that features the contentious IV-V-I-vi chord progression).

Now we just need a few of the North American news outlets to pick this up and run with it, and Alizée will be a household word!

Coldplay vs. Alizee and the world

The Coldplay situation does not want to go away. The first I ever heard of their song similarities was with Alizee singing J'en Ai Marre. That appears to have opened Pandora's box. If you are curious for more here is an article that leads to more controversy.
