[Music] Marvin Gaye estate suing Ed Sheeran over copyright infringement

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Heard it through the Grapevine? Yes, I'd forgotten that one. Doesn't follow that younger generations know it though. I've heard of 'Sexual Healing', now you mention it, but I don't think I've ever actually heard it!

Honestly.

What's going on?

Marvin Gaye: Never-before heard music surfaces in Belgium

The tapes have lain hidden in Ostend for 40 years. But a legal fight is brewing over who owns them.

www.bbc.co.uk

As I fan I'll be interested as to whether they'll release any of this new found music of the soul icon.

Interesting laws attached to this story.
In Belgium, after 30 years, any item you've had in your posetion is legally yours. But not intelectual property. So this guy owns the tape the music is on, and can sell the tape, but he doesn't own the music.

I can't seem to hear anything in 'If I could fly' that's in Viva La Vida

Yep, still can't hear a similarity

Nevermind. Coldplay must have hence the settlement.

Marvellous… You Showed Me

The only Coldplay song I like is really a Kraftwerk track.

Seems very likely as it was settled just before coming before the judge.

But we don't know if Coldplay decided they would lose, and paid a large amount, or if Joe thought he'd lose, so settled for almost nothing.

Again unlikely as Coldplay revealed they wouldn't need to admit copying the melody after settling the case. All the pieces I've ever read from the press about it (not fan comments on Reddit etc) have suggested the settlement went in Satriani's favour. I imagine people who understand legal wording in this kind of case would be able to make an informed judgement.

It's got the same beat, but then so have a lot of things. I like the idea that people can protect their work, but I also don't like the idea that people will make claims where the music hasn't been copied.

Do you hear sound in the same range as other people?
I'm just wondering if you might be better off judging whether those sandworms from Dune have ripped off each other's music rather than listening to human music.

Joe doesn't need the cash since when he played De La Warr Pavilion last year he wanted £160 for a stalls ticket! Too rich for me

Funnily enough, Heard it through the grapevine started playing as I left a Tesco Express on whatever station it is they play in such places earlier. Everybody's heard it.

Apropos of nothing I was in Lewes Tesco once a few years ago, quite late on a Friday evening, and noticed I quite liked a few of the songs they were playing. I mentioned this to the guy on the checkout and they quite cheerfully replied
"Oh yes, it's Radio Dead."
"I'm sorry?"
"Radio Dead. They only play music by dead people or bands with a dead member"
"Oh. That's... lovely. Probably does have all the best tunes I guess."

I count myself lucky as a mate rang a week or two before and gave me a free ticket!

Nice. I wish they would bring the current G3 tour to the UK as it reunites Satch with Steve Vai and Eric Johnson.

Great lineup! I've never seen G3. Personally I'd like to see Vai, Satch and Petrucci. I love Vai though, incredibly creative, enormously influenced by Frank Zappa.
