TL;DR

Ed Sheeran has said that defending copyright infringement lawsuits has become a part of the job description for top musicians. He made the comments in an interview with CBS News after a jury in New York ruled in his favor in a case that saw him accused of ripping off Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. Sheeran said that similarities in chord progressions and rhythms between the two songs were “basic musical building blocks that songwriters now and forever must be free to use”.
