Its a real shame if this Coldplay thing can't be resolved.
Think of all the potential fans that could be opened up to your genius as opposed to automatically being biased against you.
If only you could make this controversy benefit everyone positively
The best thing in my mind would be if you and Chris Martin could take off the gloves and sit down. Maybe you could get him / Coldplay to admit that their inspiration came from your beautiful composition.
We all know a legal battle only results in dollar-commited attorneys from both sides making out like thieves and creating more animosity. Has anyone ever met an attorney with a real commitment to artistic integrity? Their main concern is billable hours.
I know its not a macho don't-take-whats-mine approach but sometimes you get more bees w/honey
After all they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Wouldn't you make more money selling music to a new fan base than whatever you get after everyone else takes their share after a lawsuit?
