Ed Sheeran's Legal Battle: The Verdict and the Appeal.

The family of Marvin Gaye's co-writer on "Let's Get it On" plans to appeal a verdict in Manhattan federal court for Ed Sheeran, who won a copyright infringement case involving "Thinking Out Loud" last month. A Manhattan jury decided in Sheeran's favor in May when they found that the singer did not engage in willful copyright infringement. The document did not say on what grounds the Townsend family would appeal but it did signal the family would challenge the outcome and several rulings made by the judge.
