Let’s get it (this lawsuit) on: jury to rule on whether Ed Sheeran copied Marvin Gaye
A judge said there were ‘substantial similarities’ between Thinking Out Loud and Gaye’s Let’s Get It On
A US judge has ruled a jury will decide whether or not Ed Sheeran is guilty of ripping off Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On for his hit Thinking Out Loud.
District Judge Louis Stanton rejected Sheeran’s request to dismiss the lawsuit and in a decision made public on Thursday said there were “substantial similarities between several of the two works’ musical elements”.
