Coldplay: ''Viva La Vida' not copied from Brooklyn band'

Band weren't even in US when alleged plagiarism occurred

I guess Chris Martin & co are in the clear for now. Somehow my sarcasm in the previous article seemed not to go so well with some, so I'm gonna keep it straight here. Bands the size of Coldplay do this all the time, they steal stuff from other artists - sometimes smaller artists, sometimes old stuff etc. It is, however, important to remember that it can be unintentional. And let's face it, music is quite a lot about ripping each other off and stealing bits and pieces from each other. It's just the way it is, and the way it has always been.
