Creaky Boards Coldplay Theft: “The Songs I Didn’t Write” “Viva La Vida” Copyright Infringement

Coldplay has been accused of stealing their hit song entitled “Viva La Vida”, from the YouTube channel of a Brooklyn-based rock band called “Creaky Boards”.The lead singer of the band, Andrew Hoepfner posted a YouTube clip that combines both “Viva la Vida” and the group’s song ironically entitled “The Songs I Didn’t Write.” Andrew is claiming that he saw Chris Martin when his band the Creaky Boards played at the CMJ festival in October 2007.Andrew said:

“We were flattered when we thought we spotted Chris Martin in the crowd that night. He seemed pretty into it!…Maybe TOO into it.”
