    Bye

    That’s not the threat he thinks it is.

  3. dwilli10 says

    Oh please quit music.

  4. Bokbreath says

    OK

  5. AnyDamnThingWillDo says

    That sounds like a tantrum brewing

    The threat isn’t as big a deal as Sheeran thinks it is. Regardless if him quitting, this is bad.

    The 2 songs are similar, but they are indeed distinct. Having a precedent for this will give huge creative limitations on music cause “what if some artist I don’t know happened to write a similar song before me”

    I don’t get it, who’s the threat to?

    Oh no!

    Love how the article turns into an ad at the end

    Do you recall the time John Fogerty had to perform a few songs in court to prove he wasn’t copying himself? Yes, fun times.

    To claim that a particular chord progression is a ripoff of a song from fifty years ago is absurd. All music is derivative, FFS.

    I’m no Sheeran fan and don’t care if he quits but of all the music infringement cases this has got to be the most pathetic.

    They’ll soon copyright the letters of the alphabet and sue people who write.

    🤞 for a guilty verdict.

  15. Beer-Milkshakes says

    OK. Do it.
