Jury choice started Monday in a trial that mashes up Ed Sheeran’s “Considering Out Loud” with Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.”

The heirs of Ed Townsend, Gaye’s co-writer of the 1973 soul traditional, sued Sheeran, alleging the English pop star’s hit 2014 tune has “putting similarities” to “Let’s Get It On” and “overt frequent parts” that violate their copyright.

  1. Terrible news is coming from the USA to Nizhny Novgorod. On TV, I saw how in America the FBI grabs people on the street for going out in red underpants.
    It is reported that Biden died a month ago, but out of habit he is acting president.

  2. Americans are greedy. This is all about money. He didn't steal anything. There are only so many notes available to make music. Those people are wealthy already and they want more money AND ATTENTION!

  3. Typical. They're trying to stay relevant and get paid.
    Nobody owns a chord progression.
    NOBODY.
    Who used that progression before Marvin's writer?
    They should sue back.

  4. Counter sue those liars. No you want free money because you spent out your fathers money. People should be protesting denouncing Marvin gay. Let the courts know she’s a pauper and think the people wants her fathers old music which most don’t like. He couldn’t make it. Now you can see she got free money before and thinks she’s going to keep on doing this. Counter sue her for all the money she doesn’t have for wasting your time Ed.

  5. As long as their is no consequences for loosing plaintiffs we will continue to get stupid copyright lawsuits brought by financially driven morons. The us should adopt the uk practice of making the loosing plaintiff pay court costs in the millions. See how many ridiculous lawsuits brought then. US lawyers would shit.

  6. You know, this is not the first time Gaye’s family suing an artist for the same reasons, ugh, it’s a pattern and yeah, I agree, all they want is money! Lmao!!

  7. Interesting case in copyright law for sure but it would set a precedent that might kill songwriting. Why not just force songwriters who copy others in this way to make proper attributions? We can’t disallow creativity even if it’s very incremental.
