Spoiled sports Coldplay have ordered YouTube to take down an embarrassing, career tarnishing video that illustrates them ripping off one of the most accomplished guitarists of the last 20 years, Joe Satriani. I figured something like this would happen, so I downloaded a copy of it several days ago.

In other news, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is said to be going through marital strife with his union to Kabbalah actress Gwen Paltrow on the rocks.

Newspapers have blamed her involvement in Kabbalah and hanging out with Satan A/K/A Madonna, brainwashed and declining athlete A-Rod and Miami lesbian-cokehead-doormat Ingrid Caseres.

The public facetiously cites this as the third marriage madwoman Madonna has ruined this year, including her own.

EMI Pulls Offending Coldplay/Satriani Videos from YouTube

Joe Satriani accused Coldplay of plagiarism for lifting elements of his song "If I Could Fly" for its hit song "Viva La Vida" earlier this year.

Now, videos depicting similarities between the songs are disappearing from YouTube courtesy of Coldplay's label, EMI, which claims the videos infringe on its copyright…

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by EMI Music" -- appears a bit disingenuous. If copyright were the issue, a YouTube search for "coldplay viva la vida" wouldn't return 32,700 results.
