The suit claiming that Coldplay lifted some of the melody for the song Viva La Vida from the Joe Satriani song If I Could Fly concluded Tuesday (9/15) with an undisclosed settlement between the two.  Another claim could be filed against the UK band, this one by Yusuf Islam, the former Cat Stevens, who reportedly feels the same Coldplay song too closely resembles his 1973 song Foreigner Suite.  Islam reportedly has said that his decision on whether to sue could be influenced by the outcome of the Satriani claim.  Since the Cat Stevens song pre-dates both, could Islam sue both?
