English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran spoke out about his copyright infringement trial, where he was accused of copying music chords from a Marvin Gaye song.
Ed Sheeran arrives at Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. Sheeran is being sued by the heirs of Ed Townsend, co-writer of Marvin Gayes "Lets Get It On", for copyright infringement in his 2014 song "Thinking Out Loud".
During Sheeran’s trial, he broke out his guitar while on the stand and explained why he decided to share his talents during his testimony. On Thursday, a jury ruled that Sheeran was not liable in the copyright infringement lawsuit brought by the family of singer-songwriter Ed Townsend, who co-wrote Gaye's song. The lawsuit reportedly sought $100 million in damages. Following the verdict, Sheeran said outside the courthouse that he’s"grateful the jury saw through the attempts" to show"misleading comparisons" made by the plaintiff's experts between the two songs, finding"similarities where none exist.
