Plagiarism begins at home...

Oh dear, I read with glee that Coldplay are being sued by Joe Satriani for using "substantial original portions" of his 2004 song 'If I Could Fly' on their single 'Viva La Vida' - the titular track from their most recent craptacular..

The evidence seems pretty damning - you can listen to the iTunes preview of 'If I could fly' here...

I don't expect the lawsuit to reach court - the parties will come to some 'arrangement' and we will see Coldplay and Satriani performing the song together at the Grammys. A win/win situation? Shame on you Mr Paltrow...
