Copyright infringement...

Ed Sheeran has defeated a copyright infringement lawsuit involving his Grammy-winning song "Thinking Out Loud" to the Marvin Gaye classic "Let's Get It On."

Stated publicly, he felt frustrated by the baseless claims and praised the jury's decision.
A Manhattan jury has found the musician did not engage in willful copyright infringement.

Okay, lots of song have similar beats, rhythms, chord progressions and that doesn't make them liable to other similar sounding songs.

I can think of other groups who 'lifted' songs by other other artists and either settled in court, out of court, win or lose.


This video/sound comparison came out 6 years ago:



In court, Ed backed up his claim that there are other songs with the same progression recorded before Marvin Gaye's song... would that mean he was guilty of copyright infringement too?
That would be a copyright infringement of a copyright infringement.

That was an unusual court hearing.
He serenaded to the court and said if he lose the case he will never sing again.

No authentic, judicial process in this case. frustrated
