Coldplay-Satriani-Verdes-Stevens Viva La Vida Plagiarism?

Folk singer Cat Stevens (now calling himself Yusuf Islam, but everyone else still calls him Cat Stevens) is apparently considering jumping on the bandwagon and suing Coldplay over its song “Viva La Vida” and the supposed plagiarism of his 1973 song “Foreigner Suite.”

Now, we really don’t want to defend Coldplay’s blandly affable pop, but we don’t think Stevens has a case. And, if he does have a case, he should actually be suing guitarist Joe Satriani, since Satriani thinks Coldplay stole the song from his “If I Could Fly”—which means Satriani must’ve copied it from Stevens, right?
