Joe Satriani Sues Coldplayfor Plagiarism

I've never known Joe to go after anyone like this before, so if he's pursuing it now, I guess he figures he's got a good case and I have to say the two songs certainly sound very much alike.

Of course this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XnhFR73wOs shows that Joes tune is similar to another artists. I'm sure it's possible for 2 or more people to come up with the same musical ideas on their own, but how do you prove you've never been influenced by someone elses music?

In any case, I love JS and hope he gets what he's looking for here!
