Since that precedent was set, it seems less likely that Coldplay would try to "get one over" by stealing from Joe Satriani. If they had realized the similarity, it seems like they would have asked him. I'm not sure where I stand on the legalities of it, but based on the past I give Coldplay some benefit of the doubt.
