Ed Sheeran didn’t commit copyright infringement of the Marvin Gaye classic “Let’s Get It On” with his hit song “Thinking Out Loud,” a Manhattan Federal Court jury found Thursday.
The nearly two-week trial saw Sheeran deny an accusation by the heirs of “Let’s Get It On” co-writer Ed Townsend that the British singer-songwriter stole elements of Gaye’s 1973 soul anthem for his 2014 track.

I’m glad he won, they really were totally diff…I was able to hear a slight similarity in the very beginning of the chorus but as he explained, that’s bc it’s a common cord pattern, just like many Christian songs have a few cords they normally throw in on most songs yet they sound completely diff…all genres do it 🤷♀️
Never lost faith!!! I knew the Universe and Marvin were supporting Ed throughout this process. We need to lift this young man up. These frivolous lawsuits are harmful to every musician’s Soul!!! We love you, Ed! Please don’t give your personal power away. Your songwriting is a form of channeling the Devine. This is your destiny!!! ♥️❤️♥️
Ed and Amy! Thank you for your wonderful music
So glad for Ed, it shouldn't have gone on this long. Also, the context of both songs are polar opposites.
Disappointed with such disputes reaching this level, as ever it's only the lawyers and courts that win. 🇬🇧📚🇬🇧🇺🇸
I hope Marvin's family estate had to pay for Eds attorney costs. Those lawyers look expensive
There aren't any original ideas in music, but only original artists.
This wouldn't have been the ruling if Marvin Gaye was white and Ed Sheeran was black!!!! On a less trolly note, the music business is ridiculous. Passing on new income from a 20, 30, 40 year old song to family post-mortem is natural. Demanding a share or all of the income from something new because it sounds too similar is ridiculous. This implies that the new song, even if it's a re-recorded nearly exact copy, has reduced the income of the original, if it even is original.
Is there any other industry where parts of a product, little alone the whole product, is copyrighted/trademarked/patented for 70 years after the designer died? Imagine the family of the first person to design a traffic sign, still getting royalties, for every traffic sign sold around the world.
