Satriani vs Coldplay Lawsuit

Well if ya didnt know Coldplay is being sued by Guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani for copying parts of his song.

The resemblance is striking! Satriani wrote his song in 2005.
The chord structures are close and the Coldplay chorus is Satriani's verse.

I think he has a decent case. Artists copy eachother all the time, but they do obtain rights and permissions, when they dont thats when they have problems.
