“Ed Sheeran Cleared of Plagiarism Charges in Marvin Gaye Case”

British pop star Ed Sheeran has won a lawsuit in New York over allegations of plagiarism. A jury acquitted the 32-year-old singer-songwriter in a civil trial on Thursday of charges of copying Marvin Gaye’s 1973 soul classic “Let’s Get It On” for his hit “Thinking Out Loud.” Rather, Sheeran created the song “independently.”
