JAKARTA - Ed Sheeran has been determined not to plagiarizepan ofOVER Gaye's Let's Get It On song for Thinking Out Loud. This was the decision of the US court on Thursday.
The case was filed against the pop star in 2016 by Ed Townsend, one of Gaye's 1973 classic songwriters. He accused Sheeran of plagiarizing the song in his 2014 hit.
The allegation reads that Sheeran and co-author Amy Wadge plagiarized the 1973 rhythm of the song, as well as the order of the four akor that rose. The case also refers to a striking "equality" between two copyright-violating songs. Sheeran denies claims he plagiarized Gaye's song.
Earlier this week, Sheeran reportedly took a stand in Manhattan insisting he would stop playing music if found guilty.
However, the singers are now declared irresponsible for copyright infringement, in which the jury decided that he was "self-contained" in creating the song.

The Guardian reported that Sheeran hugged his lawyer after the verdict, while Wadge and his wife Cheery Seaborn reportedly cried.
"I'm obviously very happy with the results of this case and it looks like I don't have to retire from my daily job," Sheeran told reporters outside the court.
"But at the same time I was very frustrated that baseless claims like this were allowed to be brought to justice."
