Should I enroll in the army against Coldplay for plagiarism?

Listen to this comparison between “Paradise” and a song I recorded in 1993:

For a moment I was a little puzzled, but then I thought that some musical ideas will come out with little variations from different minds, at different times, without knowing each other.

I think there are very few cases of real plagiarism…

Yes, “guest” post, it is. When anything is being released nationally (or internationally) they should be checked before releasing. Why wouldn’t they be? If I was an Architect and built an amazing building in NY and when it was done it had most of the dimensions of a famous “unnamed” chapel in Rome what would you say? I should have measured every building to make sure I was original? No, I should have known that it was the same or at least far too close to be considered original.

Maybe it was coincidence? Then in that case they must pay the price for going hugely public with a piece of music they claimed was original.

Another point: That song is so basic that again yes, they should have checked it with several professional people before branding it as original. Everyone that worked on that album should be embarrassed if they are not further GUILTY.

Where is Coldplay in 2011? I just wrote an article on this on my site Bandwriter.com.

I have a question to all those think they know it all abou music out there, is it plagiarism to create a song on the piano and then taking our time to adjust the final touching to it, released it without ever checking up on the millions of songs out there in the world, and be called a plagiarism because it sounds like someone else's song? Remember I'm talking about just messing around with the keyboard without listening to any song while creating musical art. Yes of course it has a big chance of sounding like another song and should I be sued for my own creation that I made up off the keyboard? I mean what have the world come too? I understand listening note by note and switching notes around, my work will still be called plagiarism because I failed to copyrighted right before whatever song that it sounds like right? Great mind think alike people, it's the truth, you can't say only you in this world have created a unique sounds out of how many people out there

You obviously have little musical understanding, there's really an infinite amount of sounds and chords. There's an unlimited amount of chords, and thus, chord progressions, but you're probably restricting your info to the commonly used chords.
But really, saying that all music that's been made has been made before is just…stupid. And where the hell did you get the notion of "music has only 12 damn notes" that's beyond wrong, considering theres eI doubt you even know what a "note" is in the world of music

Its more the fact that they've admitted to ripping off all these bands that makes it plagiarizing, and theres still more to do.

No music can ever be written that doesn't sound like someone else's music. Why? There's 12 damn notes and I don't care if you flatten, sharpen or play it fast or slow. It's going to sound familiar! If you want to call this phenomenon "plagiarism", then every band has a case to win and lose in a court of law. Chord progressions? Sorry, they've all been done so no more music can ever be made again or it will be plagiarism. And everyone that's ever recorded a song in audible format now owes money to apes and birds that were making those sounds long before humans existed. Let's be more ridiculous. Shall we?
