Los Angeles, April 07: Coldplay has denied in federal court that it copied parts of Joe Satriani`s music for its hit song, "Viva La Vida."
In a response filed in Los Angeles on Monday, attorneys for Coldplay`s band members also argued that any similarities between "Viva La Vida" and Satriani`s "If I Could Fly" weren`t enough to warrant damages.
Satriani`s song "lacks originality," Coldplay`s response claims, and shouldn`t receive copyright protection.
Satriani sued Coldplay in December, claiming the British band used "substantial, original portions" of Satriani`s "If I Could Fly," which was released in 2004.
Satriani`s lawyer, Howard E King, said Coldplay`s response was typical for copyright infringement cases and he reiterated that he thought the matter could have been resolved without a lawsuit.
