Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' prevails in copyright appeal over 'Let's Get It On'

A federal appeals court ruled that Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' did not violate the copyright of Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On.' The court found that only the skeletal sheet music of 'Let's Get It On' was protected, rejecting claims about the song's chord pattern originality.
