Ed Sheeran Wins His Copyright Trial

"I am just a guy with a guitar who loves writing music for people to enjoy. I am not and will never allow myself to be a piggy bank for anyone to shake. Having to be in New York for this trial has meant that I have missed being with my family at my grandmother's funeral." pic.twitter.com/rwOe4cxIQQ

This means he continues to make music and those jurors are going to need witness protection.

if i ever hear him rap again, juror 5 is TOAST

I know he doesn't have many fans on ONTD but if he had lost this case, it would've had huge ramifications for the entire songwriting industry. Good for him, those chords are so universally used!

[squirrels_oh_no]

Yeah that was my issue - what was next, someone going after anyone who did a four chord song? I still dislike him though.

anyone said 4 chord song????

Love Axis of Awesome, they even had to chime in about the other Marvin Gaye estate/writers lawsuit!

That’s what the trial was about? Someone thinks Thinking Out Loud sounds like Let’s Get It On? I’ve never heard the resemblance tbh.

[glitterslugs]

neither. i can now that i think about it, but there's also prob 100 other songs that sound similar too

I watched a video and in order to make them sound the same, the guy doing the video literally had to slow one of the songs down, put them in a certain section and play them at an exact time code, and change the key in order for them to sound the same in ONE section because four chords are the same. That was it. It's ridiculous.

People in the last post were saying ‘they’re the same song!’ And I’m like ‘uhhhh I don’t hear it’

[americnxidiot]

Good!

And just like that, 2023 continues to suck a little more.
