Ed Sheeran copyright case reaches jury in New York.
TL;DR Summary
A jury will decide whether Ed Sheeran copied Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" after a week-long copyright trial. Gaye's heirs are suing Sheeran and his record label, claiming infringement of their copyright interest in the song. Sheeran's lawyer argued that similarities in the chord progressions and rhythms of the two songs were basic musical building blocks. The jurors were sent home after closing arguments and will return on Thursday morning to deliberate.
