This case got the ball rolling;
What made it different is that Harrison jacked the melody........a PA copyright "No No."

You would know Sheeran has experience in the area - Ed Sheeran wins Shape of You copyright case and hits out at 'baseless' claims

Published 6 April 2022

Ed Sheeran has won a High Court copyright battle over his 2017 hit Shape of You.

A judge ruled on Wednesday that the singer-songwriter had not plagiarised the 2015 song Oh Why by Sami Chokri.

Chokri, a grime artist who performs under the name Sami Switch, had claimed the "Oh I" hook in Sheeran's track was "strikingly similar" to an "Oh why" refrain in his own track.

After the ruling, Sheeran said such "baseless" claims "are way too common".

In a video on social media, he said there was now a culture "where a claim is made with the idea that a settlement will be cheaper than taking it to court, even if there's no basis for the claim".

He added: "It's really damaging to the songwriting industry. There's only so many notes and very few chords used in pop music.

"Coincidence is bound to happen if 60,000 songs are being released every day on Spotify. That's 22 million songs a year and there's only 12 notes that are available."

He makes a good point there.

Ed Townsend - For Your Love

[murrayhill]

To be clear,
I only know what the plaintiffs counsel should have known.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sheeran counter sued for this frivolous
lawsuit. It became obvious to me long ago, that there's no
such thing as bad publicity in the entertainment business.
Sheeran will benefit greatly, but in this case, I think the Townsend
estate will wind up paying out a lot of money with no upside.

[fuagf]

You obviously know more. Glad the jury backed your position up.

[murrayhill]

I'm surprised the jury took 3 hours
to reach that decision. It was a no-brainer based on the evidence.

The case involved "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On."

Ed Sheeran has defeated a copyright infringement lawsuit involving his Grammy-
winning song "Thinking Out Loud" and the Marvin Gaye classic "Let's Get It On."

A Manhattan jury has found the musician did not engage in willful copyright infringement
following a trial that saw Sheeran playing guitar and singing in court.

The jury reached its decision after roughly three hours of deliberations.

Sheeran, seated at the defense table in a suit and tie between his lawyers, hugged his attorneys when the verdict was read.

"I'm obviously very happy with the outcome of the case. And it looks like I'm not having to retire from my day job after all," Sheeran told reporters outside the courthouse. "But at the same time, I'm unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court at all."

As I recall, among his other achievements,
Ed Townsend was a lawyer. He knew there was no case for
the writer, but after he passed away, I presume the "estate"
filed this lawsuit fishing for money..

[Biowatch]

If the 2014 song was an obvious ripoff, why wait so long before filing a lawsuit?

[murrayhill]

Ed Townsend's estate only holds a PA
(writer's) copyright on the melody, words and vaguely, the chord changes
on Let's Get It On. While a lot of the changes are similar, they're not exclusive,
and the melodies are totally different. IMO, the suit will fail based on all of that being true.

The rightful party to sue Sheeran, in this case, would be Motown Records, who
holds the SR copyright (a particular & unique configuration of sounds).
on the actual recording, from which it was sampled, if they were used
w/o permission.
Most probably, a fee was paid to obtain those samples from the original record, as
is now the absolute necessity in big time production.

ED SHEERAN VS. MARVIN GAYE LAWSUIT: Let's Compare!

[Biowatch]

Copyright infringement or coincidence?

Or legitimate use of a common chord progression?

I lean towards the latter. I would not immediately think of one of these songs if I heard the other.

What ?.....You made that one (those ones) WORK ?.....Oh, nice !
Thanks !......Excellent.....Cheers !

[pos_stock_hoarder]

You found it! A defective one. I tried just using the link, no space, and got a blank too.

So, you'd just have to use XqrYPyLYZbY and the brackets like you just did. Just the stuff between the = and the &.

HAGO!

[nowwhat2]

Oh !......So we only go up to the & sign now !

Lemme try......Ah !....Nice ! Thanks

LoL

hmmmm.....Any idea how to handle THIS one ?

I've put a space in the http
h ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqrYPyLYZbY&list=OLAK5uy_lnTTcLvTfg-8K7eGQpm--1SMEpcL53Lt4&index=5


Otherwise this (or the blank screen play arrow) would'a shown up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqrYPyLYZbY&list=OLAK5uy_lnTTcLvTfg-8K7eGQpm--1SMEpcL53Lt4&index=5


Anyways, thanks !.....Got SOMEWHERE at least !

ha - Pretty melancholy but.....still


.

[pos_stock_hoarder]

Read carefully.

You only need what comes after the = and before the &

Q7XJb7aWv80

Secondly, you don't want that space between the y and t.

Or just post the ENTIRE link, including the http:

Either way works.

[nowwhat2]

Thanks guys but nope.....Darn.

The old = thing (with y) don't work neither


[y t]Q7XJb7aWv80&t=15s[/y t]
Too many = signs in there ?

Now without the space

Now trying the whole url

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7XJb7aWv80&t=15s


Hey.....At least it now shows up (wouldn't do so last night - gave the bank (play) screen)





Y'know what it is ?.........It's a COUNTRY thang......


That's all I can think of........OR.......perhaps it's just a TEMPORARY country thing.



I dunno - It's puzzling.




Darn.



Hey, I just tried whole url again (to provide the link on a different board) and there it gave the blank (play) screen !


On this board here displays the link - On a different board it shows the blank (play) screen ????

Awwwww..........Perhaps it's an IHub / Canadian subscriber thing


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7XJb7aWv80&t=15s


I'll try asking IHub
