Jury Finds Ed Sheeran Did Not Infringe on Marvin Gaye Copyright With "Thinking Out Loud"
- Ed Sheeran wins copyright case alleging he stole from Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" in his song "Thinking Out Loud".
- Sheeran expressed frustration over baseless claims going to court but gratitude toward the jury for protecting songwriters' creative process.
- The lawsuit was brought by the estate of Ed Townsend, Gaye's co-writer, claiming "Thinking Out Loud" was too similar to "Let's Get It On".
- Sheeran argued the songs just shared a common chord progression used in many songs.
- The verdict could set a precedent for future music copyright cases.
