Ed Sheeran sued for allegedly infringing Marvin Gaye song copyright

Interesting - what do you think of these bits of software like Sibelius that produce score automatically? Does it work?

To a degree, just like a composers score works, to a degree.
If we played everything "as written" it wouldn’t be the same as how we’re used to hearing it, notation is a bit like Midi, it’s only capable of so much resolution.
I had to write a score for brass band when I was at uni, it was a total nightmare, I ended up rowing with the band because they insisted on playing it as I wrote it, I failed that module miserably.

To try to return it to topic.

I wonder how much Ed does by feel alongside absorbing Blueprints and how much by theory.

Apart from scales, modes, which is the only theory I use, my stuff is based on feel alongside what I've been able to absorb from Blueprints.

My "stuff" or even worse what some people call "tchunes" ugh, is based entirely on feel, nothing else, at all.
And equipment these days, seems to be designed down to the lowest common denominator, you’ve only got to look at at the review videos, it seems totally beyond that they are still featuring chugging dance saw tooth chords and "Moog Bass" sounds, it pisses me off so much, I can’t even begin to tell you how boring the whole synth tech scene is.

I read Ed’s courthouse steps speech, if that’s what it is called. In a few words he managed to sum up what all the bullsht was about and call the other sides’s “experts” the lowest scum imaginable. He was clear, concise and spoke in a way a non-musical person could understand the issue.

The cynical part of me thinks he lucked out by getting the better lawyer even though he was in the right.

I'd be interested to see that. Where is it?

I’ll try and find it. I go to so many places on the internet during the day I can’t recall exactly.

It might have been FB but this is the closest I found.

Fair play to him... but it won't stop talentless, greedy people with dollar signs in their eyes.

Well! That was an impressive statement, very clear and direct. He has gone to the top of the class in my opinion (still don't like his songs though).
