Summary
The jury has spoken, and Ed Sheeran is in the clear! The singer was being sued by the estate of one of the writers of Marvin Gaye’s hit “Let’s Get It On.” He was fighting their claims that his song “Thinking Out Loud” was a total rip-off of Marvin’s classic panty-dropping anthem. But, after being treated to a mini Ed Sheeran concert in the courtroom, the jury took only 3 hours to render their verdict. So did they get it right? Richies, we’re putting you in the jury box, playing the evidence and letting you decide.
