Coldplay's plagiarizing problems

Anybody listen to Coldplay? The band was originally sued a few months ago by guitarist Joe Satriani for plagiarizing part of the tune of Coldplay’s latest hit “Viva La Vida.” He says significant parts of his 2004 song “If I Could Fly” are in Coldplay’s tune. In 2008, a band called Creaky Boards accused Coldplay of using parts of their song in Viva la Vida. And now, Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens), has come forward to say he, too, believes parts of his 1973 song “Foreigner Suite” can be heard in “Viva La Vida.” So far, Islam’s is nothing more than an accusation. I found it interesting that when asked if he would file a suit against Coldplay, Islam said he would wait to see how successful Satriani’s suit would be. I kind of doubt Coldplay would knowingly lift parts from three different musicians’ songs to create their own, but we’ll see what happens with this suit. I definitely hear the similarity between Satriani and Coldplay, but I don’t hear it as much in Islam’s.
