Ed Sheeran's Music Career Hangs in the Balance Amid Copyright Infringement Case
TL;DR Summary
Ed Sheeran has threatened to quit music if he is found guilty of copyright infringement in a lawsuit that claims his song "Thinking Out Loud" copied Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." Sheeran's attorneys have been unsuccessful in getting the case dismissed, and a jury will now decide if there are similarities between the two songs. Sheeran insists any similarities are coincidental and too common to constitute copyright infringement. The lawsuit was filed in 2018 by Structured Asset Sales, which owns part of the copyrights of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote "Let's Get It On."
