A copyright case against Ed Sheeran accuses the musician of lifting elements from which Marvin Gaye classic?

The options that are given for this Bing homepage quiz are listed below:

A Let’s Get It On
B What’s Going On
C Got to Give It Up

The correct answer is Let’s Get It On.

See The Reason for That answer below:

Ed Sheeran is currently facing a lawsuit from the heirs of Ed Townsend, one of the co-writers of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” who allege that Sheeran’s hit song “Thinking Out Loud” infringes upon their copyright. The lawsuit was filed in 2017 and is now being heard in the Manhattan federal courtroom of Judge Louis Stanton, with Sheeran expected to testify.

During the trial, the jury will be considering the raw elements of melody, harmony, and rhythm that make up the composition of “Let’s Get It On,” as documented on sheet music filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Sheeran’s defense argues that the two songs share versions of a similar and unprotectable chord progression that is common in popular music.

The lawsuit also raises the issue of cultural appropriation, as a young white artist is accused of appropriating the work of an older Black artist. This case is similar to Gaye’s successful lawsuit against Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and TI over the resemblance of their 2013 hit “Blurred Lines” to Gaye’s 1977 “Got to Give it Up,” which resulted in a $5.3m award to Gaye’s heirs.

Sheeran has faced multiple copyright lawsuits over his musical style, which draws from classic soul, pop, and R&B. While he has expressed frustration with what he calls a “culture” of baseless lawsuits intended to extort money from artists, he has also shown a willingness to defend his work in court, as demonstrated by his victory in a UK copyright battle over his 2017 hit “Shape of You” last year.
