Coldplay v. Satriani

This copyright case was between Coldplay and Joe Satriani. The guitarist in the small relatively unknown band claimed in 2008 that Coldplay stole the tune of their hit song Viva la Vida from the groups 2004 song called "If I Could Fly". Coldplay didn't overreact about the claim because they knew that their song was 100% original. The case ended shortly after it began and Coldplay was not guilty for the claims because the song didn't have great enough similarities to be considered copyrighted.
