The suit alleges that the English singer plagiarized portions of Marvin Gaye&#8217;s &#8220;Let&#8217;s Get It On&#8221; for the song &#8220;Thinking Out Loud.&#8221; Sheeran&#8217;s song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014 and remained on the chart for 51 weeks. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The lawsuit was launched by Structured Asset Sales, a company with a one-third ownership stake in the copyrights of Ed Townsend, a co-writer of Gaye&#8217;s 1973 song (Townsend&#8217;s heirs have reportedly filed a separate plagiarism lawsuit against Sheeran). Sheeran is accused of lifting a chord progression and harmonic rhythm from Gaye&#8217;s track \u2013\u00a0his attorneys have said that the contested elements <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear too frequently in other songs for them to be the property of Structured Asset Sales.<\/p>\n<p>            In his ruling on Thursday, Judge Stanton said the disagreement would have to be sorted out in front of a jury. He wrote in his ruling: \u201cThere is no bright-line rule that the combination of two unprotectable elements is insufficiently numerous to constitute an original work. A work may be copyrightable even though it is entirely a compilation of unprotectable elements.\u201d No court date has been set. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            In April of this year, Sheeran successfully defeated a similar lawsuit in a U.K. court. A musician named Sami Chokri accused Sheeran of plagiarizing his song &#8220;Oh I&#8221; in the creation of his 2015 hit &#8220;Shape Of You.&#8221; The song&#8217;s co-writer John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon were also named in the suit. <\/p>\n<p>            Judge Antony Zacaroli ruled that Sheeran had &#8220;neither deliberately nor subconsciously copied&#8221; Chokri&#8217;s song; soon after the ruling, Sheeran issued a statement calling the suit &#8220;baseless.&#8221; He wrote: &#8220;Our message to songwriters everywhere is: Please support each other. Be kind to one another. Let\u2019s continue to cultivate a spirit of community and creativity.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Jordan Darville<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
