Ed Sheeran Seeks Supreme Court Dismissal of Copyright Appeal in ‘Thinking Out Loud’ Case

Ed Sheeran has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal regarding a prior decision which concluded that his song, “Thinking Out Loud,” did not copy elements from Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On.” The legal contention revolves around the plaintiff’s assertion that the Second Circuit improperly adhered to guidance from the U.S. Copyright Office, especially in light of the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning the Chevron deference.
