British pop star Ed Sheeran has expressed joy and relief after a United States jury found he did not plagiarise Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On when he wrote his mega-hit Thinking Out Loud, calling the ruling a win for creative freedom.The English musician hugged his team inside a Manhattan court on Thursday after jurors ruled he had “independently” created the 2014 Grammy award-winning song.The closely-watched lawsuit was filed by heirs of Gaye co-writer Ed Townsend, who sued Sheeran for copyright infringement in 2017, claiming that Thinking Out Loud copied the “heart” of Gaye’s song including its melody, harmony and rhythm.
