The problem with proving coldplay copied the hook from Joe Satriani is it has to be show they consciously heard the track and decided to use it in their own track. It is possible they didn’t intend to do it and they only reason they were called on it was from the millions of people listening to millions of tracks some people noticed two that sounded the same. It all comes down to if it was done consciously their douches and should louse all rights to the track, if it was done unconsciously they should decide how much it contributes to the overall piece and if it’s decided it’s significant they should workout a deal.
Also aren’t you guys being a little hard on matt. Keith and chemda had both decide be fore the episode had started that coldplay were in the wrong. Matt was trying to show that it’s possible it was accident. In a 2 on 1 debate were they wouldn’t budge an inch he felt backed into a corner and got a little shouty and a little condescending. Then he started firing out a hard to follow scatter shot of the reuse of music in blues and rap, why copyright law is broken and the principles of creative commons. I know I’ve done the same thing while debating a point in the past.
