Jury selection is set to begin on Monday in Manhattan federal court for a trial over claims that British pop superstar Ed Sheeran owes a share of profits from his hit “Thinking Out Loud” for copying Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On.” | Reuters
Marvin Gaye collaborated with Townsend to write “Let’s Get It On,” which topped the Billboard charts in 1973. Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2015.
The lawsuit said Sheeran has performed the two songs live as a medley and transitioned “seamlessly” between them. If the jury finds Sheeran is liable for copyright infringement, the Manhattan court will hold another trial to determine how much he and his labels should pay. The first trial is expected to last about a week.
