I_hate_underscores“nahnahnah, you are basically saying that only big, established bands can have any rights in music and can do pretty much whatever they want, including ripping off” etc etc etc etcWhat a load of rubbish.......the “principle” of the matter is one band saying to another band you have ripped off my song. The songs sound a little similar, but not to the point were some lawyer will be rubbing his hands together. Besides the same could be said of many songs.It has nothing to do with big band vs little band and has got everything to with a struggling band jumping on anything it can to get its name in the paper. What better than a big band releasing a new album.I think Coldplay are a load of old shite anyway.....but shoud tell Creaky Carpet or whatever to f*ck right off
