Ed Sheeran SPEAKS OUT After Copyright Lawsuit Win

Ed Sheeran is "Thinking Out Loud" about his major courtroom victory. After a jury found him not liable on Thursday in a copyright lawsuit accusing him of copying key components of Marvin Gaye's '70s classic "Let's Get It On" in his own 2014 hit, Ed delivered a statement outside the Manhattan federal courtroom. The 32-year-old reflected on the "devastating" legal saga and how he missed his grandmother's funeral to attend the proceedings. "I'm just a guy with a guitar who loves to write music for people to enjoy. I am not and will never allow myself to be a piggy bank for anyone to shake," he said in part, noting that he now won't have "to retire from [his] day job" and can continue his creative process and advocating for other artists.

SAYING IT OUT LOUD, justice has been done. Thank you. Ed, your grandmother is proudly watching over you. So sorry that you had to miss celebrating her life with your family. Hugs !

[@beatricemcmillan712]

You need to listen to that song again!

Hi From The Sky 💫

[@elliewilliams8371]

Thank God. So sad that he had to miss his grandmother's funeral just for something so stupid. Glad he won

[@JamieLABarnes]

Good for him 😊

[@lynnesnyder6050]

Such good news! Now enjoy the release of this all important album!

[@lulabee384]

Awesome news! Good for you Ed Sheeran. I’m so sorry that you had to miss your beloved grandmother’s funeral because of this mess but so very glad to see that the outcome was as it was meant to be. Your message after the verdict was well spoken, to the point, and easily understandable to those of us who are not in the music industry. It makes total sense to me and again I’m very glad for the outcome. I support you 100%! Congratulations!! 🙏💚

[@ItsWhatYouThinkItIs]

AWESOME!!!

[@Nighthawk-8050]

It's not about copyright it's about money plain and simple

[@madmelwood3778]

Glad he won....these basless claims need to be stopped before they even get to court

[@alainbao3762]

The Marvin Gaye family need to get a day job!!! No easy free money for them 😊

[@beatricemcmillan712]

No, Ed needs to stop copying. The songs were compared by two music experts, Ed is a loser, make your own music, Ed. You’d have to be deaf, not to recognize “let’s get it on“ in Ed’s song 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@daytripper9222]

He missed his grandmother's funeral for this? I didn't know about that. That is so sad really. Glad you won Ed. You shouldn't have had to go through this in the first place. This is what George Harrison had to go through with My Sweet Lord and he lost. All people see is that mean green dollar bill.

[@YouAreNotAlone648]

I'm so sorry this happened to you. You were totally targeted for your money.

[@johnzarate8826]

Go Ed ! YOU DIDNT EARN THIS WIN! YOU WON ALONG TIME AGO BEFORE THIS CASE CAME ABOUT!! I want to say thank you for being strong through this insulting case against you. I never once believed you broke copyright laws or cheat your lyrics. Your music is based on real life experiences and i respect you and your talent as a song writer! Was hurt when last week you said if found "guilty" you would quit the one thing in this World you are Master at....Great Music! You have made your Country, Europe and ALL those in the World who are fans of your music, very proud! I also want to call out those who are negative and passed vulgar insults on "other sites" against his/your wife. Shame on you for that! I wont go into verbatim....but the comments against his wife are words of War. She is his wife and they have children now. They go way back to high school relationship, he is of Catholic/Christian background! His words to those who shame insults to his Family.......he wont be idol about it. His talent is superb! If you don't like him or his music move on.....we are all human beings, when you put down a mans Family......you are not a Godly person.....maybe its time you LISTEN to his music....it has positive messages!!!! Congrats again! Looking forward to album number 5

Great News!! Now Black Writers can Copy Right his Music!!!

[@bettybaker683]

They don’t have to. We have inherited talent !!👏🏾✔️

[@marmac83]

Why are you making this racial? Weird flex.

[@carolinesglass]

That's a ridiculous thing to write. This was about the 4 cord progression that are and always should be open to any and all song writers to use. Black, white, yellow, it doesn't matter what color your skin is, anyone can use the 4 cords, as they are not copyright protected (nor should they ever be). Also, it was proven that those 4 cords in particular had been used before Townsend.

[@TheQuietStorm630]

All you had to do was give credit, where credit was due but you didn't. So no matter what that verdict says, you'll always be a mediocre two bit thief.

[@chevelstewart2749]

Give credit for what when the songs are two different songs.

[@bluemoyie8618]

The same chord progression has been used since long before Let's Get It On was written, so according to you, he was guilty of theft

[@isabellind1292]

He's another celeb who can't shut up about his personal, private woes for attn & sympathy so his fans (who made him rich & famous) will stroke his ego over his personal woes. It's become an epidemic among celebs, all jockeying for space to announce their poor troubles.
