Structured Asset Sales Petitions Full Second Circuit Review in Ed Sheeran Copyright Case

Structured Asset Sales LLC has escalated its legal battle by requesting an en banc review from the Second Circuit over a recent decision favoring musician Ed Sheeran. The panel previously ruled that Sheeran’s popular song “Thinking Out Loud” did not infringe upon Marvin Gaye’s iconic “Let’s Get It On.” The company contends that the panel made an error in upholding a lower court’s interpretation of the Copyright Act of 1909, which they argue only affords protection to the song’s sheet music and not other elements.
