Coldplay Being Sued

Coldplay is being sued by a 52 year old guitarist. The guitarist, Joe Satriani, is saying that Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" instrumental is plagarized from Satriani's "If I Could Fly." Satriani is hoping to receive damages and any and all profits from the copyright infringement, if the jury finds there to be one. I mean I don't really like Coldplay so I don't care if they get sued, but it would be nice if they didn't plagarize, considering they did get seven Grammy nominations. You can hear both songs here and get more info to decide for yourself whether or not Coldplay plagarized.
