Coldplay's version is about 10x better... God do I hate Satch

Like i said before, some bands make a remix of other songs and try to improve on it. I say coldplay succeeded.
BECAUSE, ALL MUSIC CAME FROM EARLIER MUSIC!
no matter what.

It's impossible to sue musical artists for stuff like that unless it's an absolute blatant rip-off. Because as said ^^ all music comes from earlier music.

There is truth to that, but sampling is a blatant rip off.

It can be, but it depends how it's used. If it's reconfigured in some way that changes it then I don't really see a rip-off.

I disagree, It is a rip-off, I instantly know if it's from a song I remember and it distracts me from the song.

It doesn't distract me, sometimes it actually makes the song more interesting to me if it's reconfigured in a cool way. And some things are changed so much that they really are unrecognizable.

The only thing that bugs me is when someone samples a huge segment of the song and changes it very little as P. Diddy is fond of doing, for example.

Son of JayJamJah

Well we differ here, I don't think it's wrong, I just think it's lazy.

Well, I agree that it certainly can be.

As a person who makes electronic music and who has tried to build songs off of samples in the past, I can definitely say in my experience it's frequently harder to build a song around samples than it is to just come up with stuff on my own.
