Ed Sheeran's Insights on Winning the Plagiarism Trial

Ed Sheeran believes that the key to winning the copyright infringement case against Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" was highlighting the numerous pop songs that use the same four chords. Sheeran and his legal team presented a video medley of 101 songs with the same chord sequence during the trial. Sheeran also played his guitar in court and stated that he had been waiting for the opportunity to explain himself. After the New York jury ruled in his favor, Sheeran expressed frustration that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court.
