Satriani in my head

Coldplay in copyright case

PM - Wednesday, 10 December , 2008 18:38:00
Reporter: Emily Bourke
MARK COLVIN: Now is it theft, borrowing, unconscious plagiarism or sheer coincidence?

The multimillion selling rock band, Coldplay, is being taken to court over allegations it pinched a tune by American guitarist Joe Satriani.

Satriani claims that Coldplay's song Viva la Vida is a direct rip-off of his melody If I could Fly, and he wants any and all profits from the Coldplay hit.

As you're about to hear, the songs are similar, some argue near identical.

Coldplay says any similarities are pure coincidence.

Emily Bourke reports.

(Sound of If I could Fly playing)

EMILY BOURKE: For American guitarist Joe Satriani If I Could Fly was a love letter to his wife, a song that took him more than a decade to compose before it was finally recorded in 2004.

(Sound of Coldplay playing)

For British band Coldplay, the song Viva la Vida released this year has earned them a handful Grammy nominations and now legal action in a Californian court.

Joe Satriani has been quoted as saying he heard his song in Coldplay's hit single in an instant.

JOE SATRANI (quoted): I felt like a dagger went right through my heart. It hurt so much. Almost immediately, from the minute their song came out, my e-mail box flooded with people going, "Have you heard this song by Coldplay? They ripped you off man". Everybody noticed the similarities between the songs. It's pretty obvious.

(Sound of song playing)

EMILY BOURKE: The two songs have been overlayed on the video sharing website YouTube just to prove the point. Coldplay says any similarity is entirely coincidental and that Satriani did not write or have any influence on their song.

Regardless, Satriani's legal team claims a substantial portion of his song has been copied and they're pursuing any and all of the profits from the Coldplay chart-topper.

BRUCE ELDER: Somebody who is a relatively small fish in the grand scheme of things is saying to a very, very big fish you have taken what rightfully belongs to me and I want some kind of recompense.

EMILY BOURKE: Music critic with the Sydney Morning Herald Bruce Elder says proving a copyright breach is fraught for musicians, big and small.

BRUCE ELDER: It is almost that it is almost impossible to define what constitutes plagiarism in music, particularly in popular music because there are so many songs that are very similar. I mean all you have to do is listen to a very old classic which is the Archies' Sugar, Sugar and I believe that the chord progression in Sugar, Sugar has been used in something like 20 or 30 other pop songs.

EMILY BOURKE: But when it comes to other pop songs, copying is nothing new.

(Sound of music playing)

Perhaps most famously, the Beatles' George Harrison was forced to pay almost a million Australian dollars in royalties after a court found he had subconsciously copied The Chiffons' He's So Fine.

(Sound of music playing)

And eyebrows were raised at the similarities between the opening bass line bars of The Jam's song Start and the Beatles Taxman, but in that case The Jam's Weller admitted to being under the influence of the Beatles.

Copyright lawyer Michael Easton is from Brett Oaten entertainment lawyers explains how damages might be assessed in the Coldplay case.

MICHAEL EASTON: You know how the defendant you know, to the extent that there's any kind of culpability on their part so if it's agreed that they subconsciously infringed then that might be something that reduces damages.

But you'd also look at things like the extent to which the market for the original work's been affected and what kind of profits the defendants made as a result of the infringement. Another aspect which is often significant in these cases is looking at the likelihood that the writer of the, you know, the defendant was exposed to the original song.

So you know, the question might come down to a case of whether Chris Martin has a Joe Satriani album in his collection.

EMILY BOURKE: And that makes composing increasingly tricky for artists. Bruce Elder again.

ELDER GRAB: The average musician is a fairly nerdy kind of person who is very, very interested in music and listens to a lot of it and presumably have a vast amount of music swimming around in their head. And if this is the case, they can often stumble on something and say, well I don't know where I got that but it sounds pretty good and I'm going to make a song out of it.

I mean if there is some kind of huge settlement in favour of Joe Satriani, then it really does create a situation where other writers are going to be saying, 'I wonder whether I'm plagiarising something?' 'How am I going to prove to people that I haven't been plagiarising this?'

MARK COLVIN: Bruce Elder ending Emily Bourke's report.

I'm listening to Garrison Keilor's Prarie Home Companion radio program on NPR. Louisville, Kentucky episode where Patty Loveless sings Hank Williams. It reminded me of my late father's love for 50's country music...

My father passed away in 1986 from pancreatic cancer.
