Weird Al gets consent from the artist or their people before he makes a parody and thats why their was such a big deal made about the Coolio song. He made the song because he got consent from Coolio's people, but not Coolio himself and Coolio didn't want it done. I don't know if he could be sued if he didn't get the green light, never really looked into it and I don't really know about it to much.
Not to sure if the source about the Coldplay's band members quotes are credible, but yeah not that big of a deal to me. I don't really like the bands music so I will continue to ignore them and listen to bands I like, kinda like Rocket.
