Save referenceCuriosity Gap
The title takes a side on a lawsuit people half-knew from the news. The image adds a blunt rule, you can't own chords, which sounds too simple to settle a court case. You hold two claims that need connecting, and the video argues the link.
Title
It names the famous case and takes the opposite side.
Thumbnail
It states the expert's core rule in plain words with nothing else competing.
Use this when news touches your subject and you hold a firm expert verdict. Name the story in the title and place your one-line stance in the image, so each surface pulls different weight.
Title names the story, thumbnail states your verdict.
