It was pointed out since it was a civil trial he was found not liable for copyright infringement and some are hoping this sets a precedent against these types of lawsuits

Also, someone pointed out that chord progression was used in Midnight Train to Georgia released not one month after Let’s Get It On

What? This is not how “precedent” works. That’s like saying someone was found not-guilty of murder so all murder trials are now cancelled.

Wife and daughter insist he's very talented.

I still don't think I've ever head any of his songs, except maybe a duet with Taylor Swinft.

Ok I used the wrong word

“Ed Sheeran's win in his copyright infringement trial is a victory for music itself, music copyright experts tell us.

“It will give people … more comfort in feeling they might not get sued and lose at every turn,” says one prominent music lawyer.”

AI may not have reached self-awareness yet, but Rivers has:

"Maybe the whole thing would be more impactful if we could go back in time and just release the very best stuff"

Considering the competition, it only reinforces their corporate rock clout. They're like the Go West of indie.

How sad!

That’s a better set list than when we saw them at the club….

Still it was epic that first time when they came out (after Dandy Warhols who were great but pretty unknown) and rocked out on Ying Yang the Flower Pot Man

Really looking forward to this show on the 11th….got a run of great shows coming up…I hope it don’t kill me though
