The copyright infringement lawsuit that Ed Sheeran claimed may spell the end of his musical career has been resolved in his favor.
The jury determined following a two-week trial in Manhattan that the Grammy-winning songwriter did not copy Marvin Gaye’s 1973 soul smash “Let’s Get It On.”
The estate of the song’s co-writer, Ed Townsend, brought the complaint in 2017, claiming that “striking similarities” existed between the earlier song and Sheeran’s 2014 hit “Thinking Out Loud.”
