Ed Sheeran Wins Copyright Case

Ed Sheeran , Wins Copyright Case.

A jury in Manhattan has determined that Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" did not rip off Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On.".

Sheeran said he's "obviously very happy with the outcome of the case" and won't have "to retire from my day job after all.".

But at the same time I’m unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court at all, Ed Sheeran, via statement.

We have spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords which are also different and used by songwriters every day, all over the world.

, Ed Sheeran, via statement.

These chords are common building blocks which were used to create music long before “Let’s Get It On” was written and will be used to make music long after we are all gone, Ed Sheeran, via statement.

No one owns them or the way they are played, in the same way, nobody owns the color blue, Ed Sheeran, via statement.

Sheeran also spoke about missing his grandmother's funeral as a result of the trial.

.

Having to be in New York for this trial has meant that I have missed being with my family at my grandmother’s funeral in Ireland.

I won’t get that time back, Ed Sheeran, via statement.

I want to thank the jury for making a decision that will help to protect the creative process of songwriters here in the United States and around the world.

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states. He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken. Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines." #TerrorThreat #AlAwlakiSpeech #JihadPropaganda #USNationalSecurity #IslamistExtremism #CounterTerrorism #RadicalIslam #HomegrownTerror #TerrorRecruitment #AssassinationPlot #ExtremistViolence #AntiSemitismAlert #TargetedViolence #USMilitaryThreat #TrumpSecurity #JewishCommunityAlert #MideastTensions #CyberTerrorismWatch #GlobalSecurityThreat #ManhattanThreatAlert ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.122~
