British pop superstar Ed Sheeran's 2014 hit"Thinking Out Loud" did not unlawfully copy from Marvin Gaye's classic 1973 song"Let's Get It On," a jury in Manhattan federal court decided on Thursday in a closely watched copyright lawsuit.
Testifying during the trial, Sheeran denied the copyright infringement claims, telling the jury,"I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it." Sheeran testified that singers frequently perform such"mash ups," and that he had on other occasions combined his song with Van Morrison's"Crazy Love" and Dolly Parton's"I Will Always Love You."
