Everyone remembers the infamous case of Vanilla Ice who was accused of ripping off the hook from Queen and David Bowie's 'Under Pressure.' Well, now we have a case for the internet age- with a guy named Andrew Hoepfner (lead singer of a band named Creaky Boards) who has a video on YouTube claiming that Coldplay's new single, Viva La Vida is, in fact, ripped off from his song.
So, watch and compare:
Coldplay
Hoepfner.
I have to say, I wish I knew more about copyright law and intellectual property and all that stuff, because I don't know how any of this works. I really don't. I know that having listened to both songs they do sound similar but I don't know if they're similar enough to win a court case.
