Coldplay’s Joe Satriani Plagiarism Lawsuit Dropped

Late last year we told you about a plagiarism lawsuit brought against Coldplay by musician Joe Satriani, now we get word that that lawsuit has been dropped.

Satriani sued Chris Martin and Co. claiming the frontman plagiarized his 2004 song ‘If I Could Fly‘ for the band’s 2008 single ‘Viva La Vida‘.

Coldplay denied the allegations stating, “If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him.”

The lawsuit, which was filed in California District Court, was dismissed from court on Monday (September 14).

No exact reason was given as to why the suit was dropped but rumors suggest the band may have settled out-of-court.
