Opinion by Drew Goins: If anyone should be suing Ed Sheeran for shamelessly repurposing their chord progressions, it’s Ed Sheeran. The man could use a little variety. But is that such a crime?
there’s overlap across an entire industry. To drive the point home, Nelson analogizes music to painting: It’s like saying, “You’ll have to pay to use red. Someone else used it first.”
So imagine Sheeran loses, and now every musician has to use half their creative juices on making sure no one else has ever produced a similar sound, lest they get sued out the wazoo. That, Nelson says, would be a “grotesque step in the direction of madness.”It sounds like a pretty existential threat. But maybe that’s because everything does these days — not an emergency, not a potential disaster, but an “existential threat.
