Compsognathus 04/28/23 11:52:30 AM #10:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Sheeran is being sued by the estate of Ed Townsend for copyright infringement on the basis that the chord progression of Thinking Out Loud is too similar to Let's Get It On. This case is problematic because chord progressions are more of a song building block than anything, which is why people are like "the songs sound nothing alike", and the idea that they can be owned is not good for the music industry as a whole. Basically if this works, expect a lot more lawsuits incoming. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:973131567] in Have any o...
