Were they aware another album had a similar cover?

I remember seeing an album with a cover similar to the cover for "Viva la Vida".
After some searching, it turns out this album was Viva La Revolution bythe Japanese group Dragon Ash. Que the picture:

Slightly similar name too, once you think about it.

If they didn't they do now!

I bet this Japanese band is thrilled because now people will check out their ten year old CD. Royalties!

I'm sure there are tons of album covers that play around with the last supper or mona lisa. It's not plagiarism or anything.

I think I remember Chris saying something like "In the early days we'd all just steal from Radiohead, but now we're stealing from other bands"
