Ed Sheeran did not infringe the copyright of Marvin Gaye‘s ‘Let’s Get It On’.Today (November 1), The US Court Of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that Sheeran’s 2014 hit track did not infringe on Gaye’s iconic track, citing that both songs only share the “fundamental musical building blocks”, per Billboard.The original case was filed in 2018 by Structured Asset Sales, the partial owners of the copyright of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote ‘Let’s Get It On’. The case claimed that the ‘Lego House’ singer had copied a chord progression and rhythm from the iconic ‘1973’ song.The appeals court said that the suit was seeking “a monopoly over a combination of two fundamental musical building blocks.”A panel of appeals court judges also wrote: “The four-chord progression at issue—ubiquitous in pop music—even coupled with a syncopated harmonic rhythm, is too well-explored to meet the originality threshold that copyright law demands.“Overprotecting such basic elements would threaten to stifle creativity and undermine the purpose of copyright law.”Sheeran’s attorney Donald Zakarian told Rolling Stone: “We are gratified that the Second Circuit agreed with Judge Stanton that Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge did not infringe ‘Let’s Get It On’ in creating ‘Thinking Out Loud’.

Tales of love, unrequited or otherwise, interwoven over the festive season, laden with pop songs and narrated by one of the biggest celebrities in showbusiness, That Christmas is best viewed by romcom auteur Richard Curtis as a kid-friendly attempt to atone for his long-standing seasonal hit Love Actually. Beautifully rendered by Simon Otto, head of character animation for the well-respected How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, it might be too busy, story-wise, for younger audiences, and even rather scary towards the end, but the writer-director’s genius for dialogue is firmly on display here (an especially timorous character is afraid of infinity because “there’s just so much of it”).
