"After three hours of deliberation, jurors in Ed Sheeran's copyright infringement trial have unanimously found that he did not copy Marvin Gaye's 1973 song "Let's Get It On" for his 2014 track "Thinking Out Loud."
"I feel like the truth was heard and the truth was believed," Sheeran told People in the courtroom just after the verdict was read. "It's nice that we can both move on with our lives now — it's sad that it had to come to this."
He gave a longer statement to reporters outside the courthouse: "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 am unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court at all," he said, in part. "We have spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melodies and four chords which are also different and used by songwriters every day, all over the world. These chords are common building blocks, which were used to create music long before 'Let's Get It On' was written and will be used to make music long after we are all gone.""
