Ed Sheeran Arrives To Court For Copyright Infringement Trial

Ed Sheeran is being sued for copyright infringement by Marvin Gaye's co-writer heirs over Sheeran's track 'Thinking Out Loud.' Sheeran arrived at court and is going to testify on his behalf during the trial. Sheeran was hit with a lawsuit in 2017 by the heir of Marvin's co-writer and accusing him of sampling 'Let's Get It On' without permission. The trial will be decided by a jury and is reported to last a couple of weeks.

Do you think Ed Sheeran will lose this lawsuit?
