Hey Patreoners!

Latest video essay thing coming atcha about the Ed Sheeran/Marvin Gaye case. This one was fun to put together - I did a lot of research on the difference between a first inversion I chord and a IIIm chord, turns out there are a lot of opinions out there on what actually might turn out to be an important distinction. A $100,000,000 distinction

Hope you enjoy!

The past two weeks have had videos which were time-sensitive, and so that means I have killed myself yet again getting the videos in on time, so I'm excited to get back to the other projects I have coming up that aren't as pressing. Stay tuned for more videos!

Until next time,

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 THE LAWSUIT https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/SheeranGaye.pdf Rick Beato’s Video on the Ed Sheeran lawsuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kt1DXu7dlo HUGO REIMANN “HARMONY SIMPLIFIED” (lol) https://ia800207.us.archive.org/5/items/cu31924022305357/cu31924022305357.pdf Essay on parallelklang https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/673f/5477aba046ee753cb34393f4cb50d3b680ff.pdf Broad vs. thin copyright protection https://www.law.com/therecorder/2018/05/07/should-musical-works-be-entitled-to-broad-or-thin-copyright-protection/?slreturn=20180606173446 PALESTRINA - Motettuorum Quinque Vocibus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkY_TzewVCk (⌐■_■) ⦿ Adam Neely T-shirts! ⦿ https://teespring.com/stores/adam-neely-merchandise ⦿ SUPPORT ME ON PATREON ⦿ http://www.patreon.com/adamneely ⦿ FOLLOW ME ON THE INTERNETS ⦿ http://www.facebook.com/adamneely http://www.instagram.com/its_adamneely ⦿ Check out some of my music ⦿ http://sungazermusic.bandcamp.com http://insideoutsidemusic.bandcamp.com http://adamneelymusic.bandcamp.com Peace, Adam
