Ed Sheeran sang and played his guitar in a New York courtroom while testifying in a copyright dispute over his hit song "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." Sheeran claimed that he wrote the song a decade ago using his own version of phonetics and collaborated with a co-writer, Amy Wadge. He denied copying anyone else's music and dismissed an expert's claim that the two songs share similar chords. The trial resumes on Monday.
