   I wonder of Beethoven could have sued Bach for copying any of his chord progressions?
   Someone ALWAYS did things first.
   I just think its silly to sue someone because their very different song happens to have some similar parts.
   These types of lawsuits should not be allowed. Gaye didn't even do it first. Should he have been sued?
   Where does it end?
   These lawsuits hurt art…not just the industry…not just the artist…they hurt the art.

   Bro I like Marvin Gaye but his family is teaching with this one and just made themselves look mad goofy

   Gaye raised a bunch of greedy parasites lol

   Hope he wins and they have to pay his legal bills for this frivolity. This greedy family trying to scratch out money from Ed, likely have been living off the dads estate and creating nothing themselves. Disgusting

    I composed a song years prior to Counting Crows releasing Mr Jones that was chord for chord the same song. But, obviously, I never recorded it for anyone more than handful of peeps to hear. And the melody and lyrics were completely different. The Counting Crows never heard it and what they did with the same chord progression is far superior than what I conjured up. They did not steal and I am humbled by their talent.
    There are only a.few musical notes in the human frequency. People need to relax, specially if they had nothing to do with creating a shred of music. It's embarrassing really.

    Ed Sheeran did not steal the song. Clearly, influenced, but not stolen. How bogus and shameful of the Gaye Estate.

    He’s an artist they can do mashups easily and it’s so often… this is absolutely ridiculous

    😈😈😈***GREED KNOWS NO BOUNDRIES!!!*** 😈😈😈 If everyone in the music business, was to sue other artists, for songs sounding similar, or chords being similar, I guarantee, the majority of artists would be on trial…..this is bull$%!t, & I hope the law see's it that way, or the music industry, might be in trouble….☹

    @eartheogen-zenonrecords6713 01/30/2025 at 1:57 PM · Edit

    This is completely ridiculous. The song stands on it's own as a piece of original music. Grow up

    Disgusting family trying to sue for something they had no part in… GREED runs thick in that families veins.

    I'd absolutely love to have seen this trial. Very important to musicians!😊
    🤔 Hmmm what are we going to do when A.I. has taken over all the music?

    @lenpeterson8684 01/30/2025 at 1:57 PM · Edit

    The real copyright infringement that no one noticed is the Bad Company song Rock Steady being a total copy of the Jimi Hendrix song Foxy Lady. Youtube them and you will hear what I mean.

    I’ve heard music that definitely sounded like other songs & these two don’t sound that alike. Also, I’m tired of seeing Ben Crumps face.

    Soon all the mumble rappers will sue each other for sounding the same 😂

    I saw this coming.. I remember when he first came out with the song, I thought to myself that it had more than a striking similarity. Writers often match Melodies or musical beds of other artists songs inadvertently.

    This is pathetic.

    @justmusic2353 01/30/2025 at 1:57 PM · Edit

    If you sing both songs in A Capella there is nothing similar. If you play only the instrument of both songs you can definitely hear the similarities.

    So does the instrument count as plagiarism or is it free to use? The Chord progression obviously is fine but is it ok to use those bass notes and rhythm is the real question here. I dunno honestly, can someone with more knowledge answer this part for me? Big Ed Sheeran fan btw.

    This is so ridiculous.
    Soon somebody will sue somebody for using G C D chord progression 😂 the two songs are completely different. We're with you Ed.

    Why not handle this matter privately 😞? Don't steal, then be all in the headlines. Song is beautiful. They could have gotten together on the matter and collectively banked

    There are millions of beats made every month and he thinks he can be the only one that can make a beat that sounds like his

    Ow give me a break. This is just nitpicking & money grabbing opportunity. There's only so much melodies throughout time that it is inevitable that some song portions will be similar. Oh pleeaase dismiss this case!!

    I support Ed 👍

    If the Blurred Lines lawsuit won for Marvin Gaye then why shouldn't this? The tempo, key and basslines are identical

    @edwinacaparelli9911 01/30/2025 at 1:57 PM · Edit

    He did no such thing. He has way too much character and there's no way, but from a mathematical point perspective I think that it's very likely that songs will sound the same because although the combinations of notes is immense for how many different sounds can get put together and combinations, the ultimate number is fininte. And it's very possible that songs sound similar.

    This is funny that it was Townsend that stole it from the Penguins in their song Earth Angel (for your love)
    The minute I heard Thinking of you loved the song… as I did Earth Angel.
