The term used to describe the act of an unoriginal British band stealing melodies from underground indie bands.
The lead singer of the band traveled to the music festival and went to great lengths to coldplagiarize the melody from the little Brooklyn indie band.

The act of stealing a song from a guitar god, and not giving him any credit for it. Usually ends in a lawsuit after the plagiarist ignores months of repeated attempts by the original songwriter to resolve the issue out of court. Coldplagiarism is commited by over-rated douchebag musicians who are not talented enough to write a decent song of their own. Typically the stolen song will be renamed after a Spanish painting, the guitar chords are usually replaced with a crappy synthesized version, and the guitar melody is replaced with whiny vocals sung by a talentless hack.
Whether or not the courts decide to crack down on the growing problem of coldplagiarism remains to be seen.
Chris Martin : "Writing music is too hard, I'll just steal a song from Joe Satriani and do a cheap knock-off of it. Nobody will catch my attempt at coldplagiarism.
