#music #copyright The case against Sheeran hinges on a 4 chord sequence identical in his song and Gaye's. With 12 major chords there are 20736 unique sequences. There are 97-200 million songs, 35 million of them available on streaming. 99.98% of them infringe copyright? Or lawyers running amok?
Let's at least agree that nobody compares to the great Marvin Gaye.
@swinemiester I'm amazed at the things that are copyrighted and that are patented. Like Apple patenting the idea of a tablet rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
Moses would like a word.
@walterbays I was under the impression that you could not copyright a chord progression. I might be wrong.
