@IamFelicia269@adambetters@AP Influence, vibe, whatever you want to call it.
Using your line of logic, Sheeran, Marvin Gaye, Elvis, The Beatles, Nat King Cole… anyone you want… should be 1) sued by and 2) paying copyright back-royalties to Beethoven’s descendants.
@IamFelicia269@adambetters@AP He was absolutely influenced by Marvin Gaye… what modern musician hasn’t been in some way? But you cannot copyright your influence, and therefore cannot win a lawsuit over it without actual evidence of infringement.
That’s all.
@IamFelicia269@adambetters@AP If intellectual property is infringed upon, you absolutely need permission.
Vibes, inspiration, and generic four-chord progressions are not intellectual property. That’s what this ruling states.
Sheeran didn’t infringe upon any intellectual property; no permission is needed.
Good. This is the right call. Now reverse the Blurred Lines decision. There are a finite number of combinations of music.
The Gaye estate is a flock of vultures. #EdSheeran

"Waffle House" was born from a simple but powerful idea: When you sit down with the people that matter most, anything is possible. This song isn't about a restaurant, it's about coming together with the people you love and making your dreams come true. https://t.co/xSWccSiyN1
