"We’ve covered a variety of recent copyright lawsuits against songs that sound
vaguely similar, noting this ridiculous war on genres, and basically outlawing
the idea of an homage. Even in cases where the lawsuits fail (which is
frequently, though not always), it’s still an extremely costly waste of time
that can still have massive chilling effects on creative people. Ed Sheeran has
been sued a few times with these kinds of claims, and thankfully, just won a
case in the UK.
But, perhaps even more importantly, with the announcement of the win, Sheeran
put out a really fantastic video statement that is worth watching about the
state of vexatious copyright lawsuits these days."
