Ed Sheeran Triumphs in Second Copyright Lawsuit Over 'Thinking Out Loud'

Ed Sheeran has won a second copyright lawsuit over alleged similarities between his hit single "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." The judge ruled that the parts of "Let's Get It On" Sheeran allegedly copied were too common for copyright protection. Structured Asset Sales, which owns part of Townsend's interest in "Let's Get It On," has filed a third, pending lawsuit against Sheeran based on its rights to Gaye's recording.
