The artist said the song was created one night with his girlfriend Amy Wedge. The composition is based on observations of the relationship between the elderly representatives of their own families.
British singer Ed Sheeran has won a plagiarism lawsuit. The BBC reported it.
Specifically, a New York federal court ruled that the 32-year-old celebrity did not copy Marvin Gaye’s classic Let’s Get It On for his 2014 hit Thinking Out Loud.
It was mentioned that the heirs of Ed Townsend, who was a co-author of the track Let’s Get It On, applied to the court. Relatives say Sheeran and his label should pay them for copyright infringement.
In this regard, shortly before the announcement of the verdict, the performer announced that he would end his music career if he was found guilty of plagiarism. But the jury sided with him.
“Of course, I am very satisfied with the outcome of this case. But at the same time, I am incredibly disappointed that baseless claims are allowed to go to court. various lyrics, melodies and four chords that are different and are used every day by songwriters around the world, these chords form the common foundation of bonds that have been used in music creation since before Let’s Get It On was written and will be used in making. music we’ve been gone for a long time,” the singer said.
It was previously reported that Ed Sheeran was to stand trial on charges of copying a Marvin Gay song.
