As it's fully credited on the coldplay liner notes, I am sure they are getting a decent royalty stream.

I hadn't heard the Coldplay track that uses the Kraftwerk riff till this thread came up (had only heard rumors). If anyone wants to compare: http://www.last.fm/music/Coldplay/_/Talk (click on the green triangle to the left of "Talk") and if you don't have your copy of Kraftwerk's Computer Love handy: http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,116410,00.html (but listen to the Windows Media clip cos the RealPlayer clip uses a different part of the song). My wife (knows Kraftwerk, not Coldplay) just heard me play the comparison and she said "Kraftwerk should sue". I hope Kraftwerk get tons of royalties from this.
