So apparently Ed Sheeran took the stand yesterday in New York and he's being sued for $100 million he basically said if he loses his case he's done with music which is pretty unfortunate but at the same time I haven't listen to Ed Sheeran in years even though he is iconic I feel like he is a relevant at this point basically he's being sued for Kind of using like backtrack copyright for a Marvin Gaye song and I don't know I mean I feel like that's honestly just doing so much for $100 million and the fact that I will literally end his career is ridiculous but people want their money so

100 million that's so sad. He hasn't even made that much in his whole career a bit. Bless him. But people need to understand in this industry you're not invincible. You need to get all the permissions and copyrights if you want to sample somebody's song. It's just legal. You're not you know invincible because you're an artist have to do things by the book. That's very unfortunate. Bless him.

He doesn't need permission to take to use a court because this case is ridiculous and stupid that he's being silly because he was a Kordic ticket accord Briggs ample AC shop or be sharp chord in his music intro similar to Marvin Gaye but is not the same so how can you sue someone for using a coin that Sim card is in many other musics are you going to everybody else using that code that you use is nonsense

Well the same goes for books right where I have definitely read books where entire sentences remind me of other books and then I read the other book and it's literally the same sentence or a certain kind of phrasing is not kind not copyrighted because it's in the context of a book and it's just a quote right but then it's in another book and if we dig deeper and deeper it seems like everything in the world is like that

Like that perhaps we've hit a plateau when it comes to innovation as a pertains to creativity I think that rather than find it and choosing to embrace it so I am excepting that every song will have elements of other songs every human will be just a reflection of other humans and everything that I see here anything with the census is something that other people have experience

So here's where I have problems with cases like this yes there's copy rights and yes copyrights are sold but if I am an artist and I have released music I believe that my funding should only be finite it shouldn't be in perpetuity it should belong to the peoples to the public there after so in cases like this happen I just think family members are greedy

I agree with the greedy part. It's mainly the family being greedy. Money hungry. Mainly because Marvin Gaye actually isn't alive anymore so the family just being kind of hungry and trying to find anything to sue people over to get more money so yeah.

Thank you so much for bringing that up because there is this notion in 2023 that not everyone can be Oprah you know who understands her better than you know anyone else Gail and look at how successful Gail is we have to be mindful of these things in our own families sadly and as somebody that's growing and suffering from family wanting things from me I look to these examples

Honestly, I hope he wins his lawsuit because the family, and it's not even Marvin Gaye's family, the family that's suing is greedy that they just want money. Let's just get to work and leave Sharon alone.
