Ed Sheeran heads to trial Monday (April 24th) to defend “Thinking Out Loud” in a copyright case in Manhattan Federal Court.
The heirs of “Let’s Get It On” co-writer Ed Townsend claim the 2014 hit “copied the heart” of the Marvin Gaye classic.
U.S. District Judge Stanton ruled in March that lawyers for the Townsend family will be able to play a YouTube clip in court showing the “Bad Habits” singer seamlessly transitioning from “Thinking Out Loud” to “Let’s Get It On” during a 2014 concert.
