Popular British sensation Edward Christopher Sheeran also known as Ed Sheeran has been found not liable for a copyright infringement for Marvin Gaye’s 1973 classic, “Let’s Get It On.”
The verdict was issued by a jury at the Manhattan federal court.
“I am very happy with the outcome of this case, and it looks like I’m not going to have to retire from my day job, after all. But at the same time, I am unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court at all.” Ed Sheeran said.
Ed Sheeran testified that Marvin Gaye’s song was nowhere near what he and his co-writer Amy Wadge’s had in mind when they made “Thinking out loud”. He claimed to draw inspiration from situations in his life.
