Ed Sheeran's Copyright Trial: Updates and Testimonies.

Ed Sheeran is being sued for allegedly copying Marvin Gaye's 1973 classic "Let's Get it On" in his 2014 song "Thinking Out Loud." The trial, which began this week, was brought by the heirs of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote "Let's Get It On" with Gaye. Sheeran denies the allegations and claims he composed "Thinking Out Loud" independently. If found liable for copyright infringement, the trial will enter a second phase to determine damages. This is not the first time Sheeran has faced a copyright infringement suit.
