Why the Ed Sheeran lawsuit makes no sense

Ed Sheeran is being sued for the similarity between Thinking Out Loud and Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On. This makes absolutely no sense - yes, Thinking Out Loud uses similar chords, but you can’t own chords, and if you could, that would be making a mockery of how music has been made for centuries.

"Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good." -- attributed to Mark Twain
