Did This 2000s Hit Rip Off Another Song? 💰 Coldplay – Viva La Vida
In May 2008, “Viva La Vida” was released by Coldplay. Seven months later, Joe Satriani filed a lawsuit against Coldplay for using “substantial original portions” of his song “If I Could Fly” released in 2004. Coldplay said any similarities are entirely coincidental. In 2009, the case was dismissed upon stipulation, suggesting that an out-of-court settlement may have been reached.
