SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 24 – In 2017 Ed Sheeran
was sued for allegedly
infringing the copyright of
Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It
On" in his 2014 song,
"Thinking Out Loud."
On April
24, 2023 the jury begins
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Louis L. Stanton.
Inner City Press will cover
it.
The actual
Marvin Gaye recording may not
be played for the jury. But a
2014 YouTube concern clip of
Sheeran breaking into Let's
Get It On while (singing)
Thinking Out Loud may be - the
clip is here,
at 4:29.
The
plaintiff is not Marvin Gaye
but rather Kathryn
Griffin-Townsend as heir of Ed
Townsend, Gaye's co-writer on
"Let's Get It On." Among
plaintiffs' counsel is Ben
Crump. Watch this site -
