Super glad he won, this is a win for all the musicians. We all learn the same chords and it’s nearly impossible to not play something that someone somewhere has already played.
@@duckmercy11 that’s not the point, if u go back u will learn that most songs are made with the same chords and progressions, I feel like if the lyrics and melody are different then it shouldn’t matter. It’s one thing to copy a song word for word. But it’s impossible for all the songs released daily to not get songs that sound the same in arrangement. Cz in this case almost all the rap songs I hear nowadays the beats sound the same.
Did they really try to claim Marvin Gaye owned the 1-5-6-4 chord progression? You can’t make this stuff up. Better sue every other musician while you’re at it
Yeah there's a lot of people could have sued Marvin Gaye's to estate for this very same thing. There are only 7 Notes in a diatonic scale and in any mode that can only add up to seven different cords that can be used and there are only a few progressions that really work musically because of how Theory works. Anyone even faintly versed in how music theory functions would laugh at this suit.
It's literally one of the most used and successful chord progressions in pop music history. The fact that Marvin Gaye's descendants tried to shakedown Ed Sheeran for 8 years over this and that it didn't get tossed out of court would drive any artist crazy. Are they going to turn around and sue the Beatles or Elton John next? Literally every pop artist uses this chord progression and beat. Totally idiotic.
After listening to both songs, the jury made the right decision. Ed is so correct that using the same chords does not make his song copyright infringement. Neither song even sounds the same.
@@Sophina_ Unfortunately it was filed in NY, one of the best places to bring frivolous litigation against people with little to no repercussions. If it was in a state where loser pays both parties legal costs it wouldn't have been brought.
Ed has shown once and for all he has integrity. People like him should be protected when copyright is used as a weapon to line someones wallet. Good on ya Ed and thanks!
I’ve seen Ed live a couple times, once for jingle ball and once when he opened for Taylor swift’s red tour. That man is so passionate when it comes to music and sounds the exact same live. It would’ve been a shame if he lost and left the music industry. Congrats to him!
A HUGE relief for Ed and all us singer/songwriters......... "The "Thinking Out Loud" singer argued that the trial was a threat to all musicians who create their own music." Ed, thank you for sharing your talent and having the gumption to stand up for yourself and us fellow singer/songwriter artists.
Extremely sad creatives are punished. No litigation should have prevented Ed Sheeran from properly mourning his grandmother. He is talented and inspiring, and I wish him continued success.
Prevented from properly mourning his granny? Was that argument used to pull the heartstrings of the jurors? Gosh. The thief sure knows how to sway public opinion.
As a singer songwriter their are alot of songs that are similar but that doesnt mean someone copied the song. Ed is a rare talent and respects Marvin Gaye and didn’t do anything wrong or illegal. Im glad he received justice. The songs are similar in a way but completely different, alot of songs are that way. People shouldn’t be able to sue you for this. Inless you copied every single melody line and and chord structure then it isn’t copyright infringement. Congratulations to ed sheeran and condolences and prayers to his family for the loss of his grandmother. 🙏❤️🤘😎🤘
@@duckmercy11 no, that’s not how it works. It’s not Marvin Gaye’s ghost suing Ed Sheeran. I personally despise Ed’s music, but anyone with half a brain would know he’s in the right in this case.
@@Gojira2000 lmao probably 2hrs45 mins honestly. They literally walked in and decided in 5 mins, took 10 mins deciding on lunch and then had a wonderful relaxing time 😂
Marvin Gaye’s song. The fact that Ed even had to deal with this bs years after his song released is outright ridiculous. A reverse lawsuit should be put in place for false accusations and stealing Sheeran’s time with their bs, making him miss his own Grandmother’s funeral.
The day a case like this goes the wrong way, Johann Pachelbel’s descendants will be the undisputed rulers of the music industry until the end of humanity.
I would like to hope that this defeat makes these copyright trolls think twice about trying to get a free payday off of somebody else's success. They should take their existing royalties and be fucking happy with it and in my opinion nobody should be allowed to own the copyrights of a dead artist I think that that makes no sense whatsoever it's completely parasitical and exactly the opposite of what copyright was intended for which was to encourage people to make new works
Was it Marvin Gaye’s family that sued? I thought it was the family of the co-writer. I could be wrong. I wasn’t following this case closely. Edit: Yeah, I just checked. The family of Ed Townsend, who was the co-writer, is the ones who sued.
This case was stupid, I heard the chords in question and the songs didn't even sound similar, someone wanted some free money. Trying to copyright chords is like trying to copyright colors in a painting...wowwwww, what has happened to sanity, integrity, morals and common sense. Ed, I'm sorry you missed your grandmother's funeral over this and I'm glad the jury found you innocent, don't lose your love of making music!!
@@poison7512 I'll take the courts opinion over yours. If anybody was entitled to that chord progression it would have to be Johann Pachelbel, cause he's the one who originally came up with it.
As a musician and songwriter I am happy to hear this! The lawyers for Marvin Gaye's family really should not have told them to go forward with this. It was clear that Blurred Lines was inappropriate but this is totally different!
Both songs are uniquely different. both great songs. Some people just feel entitled….Like they own everything. I’m sorry this man had to go through all this. Glad he won
the plaintiff were hoping he would settle like so many others do cause the justice system obviously takes years to resolve an issue. Good on him for standing his ground over the years.
Ed settled on the copyright lawsuit of Photograph. He regretted that decision and vowed to fight every copyright lawsuit henceforth. Nowadays, he makes videos of his songwriting process. These videos could be used in his defense in potential lawsuits in the future.
@@duckmercy11 you don’t know what you’re talking about. Everything they claimed he stole is extremely common in pop music in general, and has been since before Gaye’s career.
They got away with it with blurred lines also didn't sound the same and got giant pay out few years later they went after ed and for MORE MONEY its not even marvins family its a co writer
Ed I have listened to your music as you became known in the music world. I am 63 and just live all your music. Keep up the good music and if I can listen to your music and the golden oldies of the 50's to that of today, someone will still listen to your music in 100 years. Mozart and Beethoven are still the foothold of popular music.
If I was Sheeran, and was forced to go to this trial and miss my loved one's funeral, I would be pissed. I would sue the plaintiff's for emotional damage. Ben Crump had no reason to be there, and his credibility instantly went down in my estimation.
Lawyers on both sides doing all they can to make each other rich. If the losing attorneys would have to pay the wages of the winning attorneys, these kinds of lawsuits would come to an end.
Theres only so many chords, only so many combinations, every melody combination has been done one way or another. There's nothing new under the sun. We are all just essentially borrowing from the collective creative consciousness of humanity, interpreted through our personal experiences.
Thank God! If you listen to an expert play several songs with those same notes it's so obvious. To the normal listener like myself I thought it was just about the same. With only a guitar this professional music teacher played the same notes and they are in several songs, it's just a melodical rhythm but it's a little different in every one. It's similar but it's not the same. I really didn't know that until it was pointed out by a professional.
Good for him. I intuitively Knew the claim was bogus because Ed is an original artist and with his catalog it's clear that he doesn't have to resort to theft to make a hit
Of course he didn't steal or copy it. If you listened to the song you would know. All songs and music have sounds of things in the past and nature...it's called tone & tune. Hope the countersuit is in the millions to stop such frivoloius lawsuits.
The Townsend & Gaye families spent all their relatives money & now think they can sue other musicians to make more. Bad on them..shame...frivolous lawsuit! Good job Jury! Congrats to Ed.
Ed was serious about retiring if he didn't prevail. Great musicians ( like John Fogerty, George Harrison etc.) who've been embroiled in litigation over their work were deeply emotionally scarred and unable to be artistically productive for years and years over their trauma. I especially blame lawyers who are always on the prowl to make a buck.
I like Ed, and I'm glad he won. Unfortunately, he is incorrect, as I do, in fact, own the E-minor chord. So if any of you have ever used the E-minor chord, you'll need to be paying royalties to me, forever. This includes E-minor chords that were played using a capo. Thank you.
So glad this turned out the way it did. I was still teaching music when this lawsuit was filed. I think back to those students and the discussion on what this could mean for musicians.
Doesn’t the family of the late Marvin Gaye get enough in royalties from his music as it is? This was overreach. It would have been a sad day for all musicians had the jury reached a different verdict.
Ed sheeran himself said that he can play pretty much any song using 4 chords. The basis of music has very similar melodies, it just depends which one they use. Otherwise you will end up with just awful music in the future if everyone lays claim to a sequence of notes.
@@KingNoTail marvin co-wrote the song. If Marvin didn’t agree to sue but Townsend did would it still go to court? I just assumed both owners would have to agree. Since Marvin is dead Townsend party has total say. Correct me if I’m wrong please. Kinda pulling this out of my arse lol
I doubt if they have anything left. Marvin would have been so high he would have just said " Let's go". Peaches 🇯🇲 HARLEM Of course the Music Industry needs ED.

It’s a huge win for all songwriters everywhere
The totally unfair that Sheeran has to get and pay for attorneys to defend his rights,
The groove guitar, bass and drum together with the chord progression is what make them so alike.
The melody is totally different.
That’s “breaking news”? Lord help us 🙄
Good 👍 well done Ed your brilliant 🎉
