Whether or not this is true, with this stigma, it seems as though even if the slightest resemblance exists between one of their songs and another bands work, the word "plagiarism" is immediately thrown about by journalists and music fans.
Oh for crying out loud....I'm Fed Up and Long Live Life, I can really see the two songs resemblance.....one is about a king falling down on his luck, and the other is about being tired of nonsense, how could i have missed there similaritys.

They might have "copied" the sound of it. But one has to understand that artists are constantly influenced by other artists. So, the sound/songs may be similar to other artists that a particular artists has been influenced by. I like Coldplay anyways.

I've read the articles and all the comments. I've taken into consideration all the pros and cons and I've come to this conclusion: I don't care.

I think their is a certain time span were you are allowed to copied the song without someones consent.
BTW how does Weird Al get away with it, I don't think he pays for rights when he copies songs

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.

“We’re definitely good, but I don’t think you can say we’re that original,” he notes. “I regard us as being incredibly good plagiarists.”

In another article, the song “Fix You” was specifically mentioned as being a copy of Elbow’s “Grace Under Pressure”. To that, guitarist Jonny Buckland had this to say.

“We’ve never so directly stolen off anyone before. We’ve never paid for our plagiarism.”

I think I interpret this quote a little differently. I don't think he was suggesting that they plagiarize other artists deliberately. Rather, it's a subconscious effect.

No art is truly "original". All artists are influenced to some extent by others and their creative output is an amalgam of those influences. That's how I interpreted the quote.

Incidentally, I don't hear the similarity to JAM at all.
