This kind of progression and piano melody would be pretty common Trance techniques...

No, Al Gore invented the internet. Fact.

Al Gore fostered legislation that further developed DARPAnet for educational use and then went on to open it up to commercial access.

"During my service in Coldplay, I took the initiative in creating the triplet arpeggio." A. Gore

By the way, if I gave my wife 20 dollars to go to the grocery store to foster further development in meals, can I say that I "took the intiative for creating dinner?"

Pretty basic chord progression IMHO , but to go further if they had sampled Coldplay they would have just had to clear the samples with a sample clearance company or with a direct talk from labels to labels ..

"Good composers borrow; great composers steal."
-- attributed to Igor Stravinsky

I'm sure some non-great musicians do too, but my point is that copying is commonplace. There have been uproars in the past over it too. C'est la vie.

I wonder how hard it will be to find that exact same pattern and progression, say, in the works of Haydn, Telemann or Villa-Lobos?

Reminds me of an interview of some screenwriter (forgot his name) who decided to keep a note pad by his bed to record all the great ideas he was having for scripts in his dreams.

He stopped doing it after his first amazing dream idea was documented by his note: "Boy meets girl."

Sorry kids, it's all been done before. Your best bet is to try and ignore it as much as possible and move along.

This is you going so far out of your way to find something to be unhappy about, that you actually listen to the music in the link.

Seriously, if that is the length that you have to go to, count your blessings.

It doesn't even have to be exact. The "sounds like" test is enough to send some people off on a tangent about stealing other people's work...as if the arts aren't built on reusing many elements from what came before (before being about 5 minutes ago or longer). What they don't get is that simply doing a different arrangement (now referred to as remixing) makes an artistic statement, which can have its own value even though it's done using someone else's s-called "original" work. Keeps IP lawyers in upper income brackets.

Getting paid stealing somebody's else work?!?!
