Ed Sheeran found not liable in copyright infringement lawsuit

A Manhattan jury found Ed Sheeran not guilty of copyright infringement of Mavin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” for his 2014 song “Thinking Out Loud,” after nearly three hours of deliberation. Sheeran hugged his legal team on Thursday after the verdict was reached.  He told reporters outside the courtroom: “I’m obviously very happy with the outcome of the case. And it looks like I’m not having 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.”
