NLP is based on this stuff. You come to a Jamaican friends home, your going to fall in love. Same when you invite YOUR friend over. Italian food is bomb! Get help if you cant fk with either side. Final note; MJa!~
Let's this be a warning to greeta van fleet
you cant copy write chords just words
Exactly!! They're trying to claim a rhythm?.
Yes, Sheerhan is going to win this case, but the problem is systemic. Music and its elements are able to be assembled in infinite variety, quite literally. Popular music doesn't need to keep repeating itself and ripping itself off for any other reason but to eliminate the inherent risks associated with funding originality or creativity. It's actually quite sad for us as a species. We've been musically de-evolving en mass for decades. Some might argue over a century; since the invention recording.
Sheeran wins in this case. No one can own a common chord progression that leads to differing melodies. Otherwise movie studios or comic book publishers can sue each other for frivolous comparisons without real cross comparisons for proof. Stealing lyrics, stealing samples, stealing actual song melody, and discrediting/subverting the original creators is what's wrong in the media production world.
The thing about the science of music, is that it's a science that isn't that complicated. That chord progression has been transposed in that way at the very least hundreds of times. There aren't that many notes on a guitar. Let's start suing every person who uses a 1-4-5. While people are commonly constructing whole albums made from other people's music + a vocal track, this complete nonsense is going on.
That was obvious
