that's irrelevant to song copying. It's the sheet music and the lyrics that matter.
- lisper 4y agoNot necessarily. https://www.copyright.gov/engage/musicians/ https://www.copyright.gov/engage/musicians/ There are two different kinds of music copyright, and the sheet music only matters for one of them.
- AlbertCory 4y agoYes, I know that. Which one was Sheeran accused of infringing, though?
- lisper 4y agoNo idea. I didn't follow the trial. But one of the things I was originally responding to was "even Sheeran played them as a live medley" which is only relevant in the context of a performance, not a composition.
