Ed Sheeran Accusers Ask Supreme Court to Tackle ‘Let’s Get It On’ Copyright Case
Ed Sheeran's accusers in a "Let's Get It On" case asked the Supreme Court to tackle it. They claim “Thinking Out Loud” infringed Marvin Gaye's song.
In a petition filed last week, a company that owns a stake in the rights to Gaye’s 1973 song urged the justices to overturn a November ruling by a lower appeals court, which said Sheeran had done nothing wrong and that the two tracks shared only “fundamental musical building blocks.” The company, Structured Asset Sales (SAS), says that the ruling unfairly restricted its allegations to written sheet music rather than all elements included in Gaye’s iconic recorded version. Thursday’s petition came in a separate case filed by SAS, an entity owned by industry executive David Pullman that controls a different stake in Townsend’s copyrights to the legendary song.
