ICYMI: British pop superstar Ed Sheeran’s 2014 hit “Thinking Out Loud” did not unlawfully copy from Marvin Gaye’s classic 1973 song “Let’s Get It On,” a jury in Manhattan federal court decided on Thursday in a closely watched copyright lawsuit.

Testifying during the trial, Sheeran denied the copyright infringement claims, telling the jury, “I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it.”

Ben Crump, a lawyer representing the heirs, told jurors that Sheeran effectively confessed to ripping off Gaye’s song when he performed it live in concert as a medley with “Thinking Out Loud.”
