Ed Sheeran's ‘Thinking Out Loud' Copyright Lawsuit Won't Go to Supreme Court
Despite a plea from one of the people accusing Ed Sheeran of copying Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On,' the Supreme Court will not be taking on a copyright case around Sheeran's hit, 'Thinking Out Loud.' On Monday, the high court refused to take on the lawsuit claiming that Sheeran infringed on the copyright of Gaye's song. 'No reasonable jury could find that the two songs, taken as a whole, are substantially similar in light of their dissimilar melodies and lyrics,' Judge Michael Park wrote for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, per USA Today. More from Rolling Stone Eric Church Says He Was Once Pulled into Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' Legal Case Over a Lyric Ed Sheeran Celebrates India on Rousing Single 'Sapphire' iHeartRadio Music Festival 2025: Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Mariah Carey to Perform Back in November, the same court found that Sheeran did not infringe on Gaye's copyright citing that the songs share only the 'fundamental musical building blocks.' The original case — filed by Structured Asset Sales, a company that owns a small stake in Gaye's song — argued that Sheeran copied a chord progression and rhythm from 'Let's Get It On.' 'We are gratified that the Second Circuit agreed with Judge Stanton that Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge did not infringe 'Let's Get It On' in creating 'Thinking Out Loud,'' Sheeran's attorney Donald Zakarian told Rolling Stone in November. 'This ruling is consistent with the jury's rejection of any claim of infringement in the Griffin case, finding that Ed and Amy independently created 'Thinking Out Loud.'' While Monday's denial ends this lawsuit against Sheeran, a separate SAS case may go forward in federal court. The second suit attempts to sue Sheeran over a detailed recorded version of the Gaye song, which had been paused in the court system. 'The U.S. Supreme Court was aware of this and understands that the case will go forward and may very well be back at the U.S. Supreme Court at a later date,' David Pullman, who heads SAS, told Billboard. Separately, Zakarian shared his agreement with the court's Monday decision and slammed SAS' attempt at a second suit. 'If [Pullman] truly believed that the second case he filed was so compelling — which it is not — he would not have spent the last two years pursuing his failed first case,' Zakarian said.

Ed Sheeran caused Gordon Ramsay to 'collapse like a wimp' as his wife gave birth
Gordon Ramsay fainted in the delivery room when his son Oscar was born, despite his wife Tana banning him from being present at the births of their first four children TV chef Gordon Ramsay fainted during the birth of his son as Ed Sheeran 's tunes serenaded the delivery room. The 58-year-old culinary star, who had previously been absent from the birthing room for his older children Megan, 26, twins Jack and Holly, 25, and Tilly, 23, due to wife Tana Ramsay's wishes, was present for the arrival of their fifth child, Oscar. However, the Kitchen Nightmares icon's elation quickly turned to alarm when he passed out while cradling new-born Oscar, with Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' playing in the background. On the Smartless podcast, Gordon revealed: "Let's make one thing absolutely clear, my wife didn't want me in there. First of all, she said, 'I want my mum and your mum in there, you're not going to see me in that state, that side of the curtain, get out of there.' "That was her decision and I had to respect that decision. When I did final arrive in the theatre for our fifth baby I f****** collapsed like a wimp! I blacked out holding Oscar in the air." Gordon has been sharing some intense moments from the delivery room, recounting, "He was coming through the sun roof so there was a lot of commotion going on. They said, 'What do you want to listen to?' So I said, 'Can you play Ed Sheeran?' "So they started playing Ed, they turned up the volume, I can hear all these noises, all of a sudden I see two more doctors dive in, I look to the floor and there was blood everywhere. They popped him out and then they came straight over to me and I went, 'Woah, woah, s***.' I sat back and I collapsed like a f****** idiot." The celebrity chef and his wife Tana are basking in the joys of parenthood once more with their little ones Oscar and Jesse James, who joined the family in 2023. Gordon, a three Michelin star culinary maestro, is keen on instilling strong work values in his children, ensuring they understand the importance of hard graft rather than relying on their privileged background. Proud of his older children's diverse career choices, Gordon does admit to a twinge of disappointment that his daughter Tilly, aspiring to be a chef, opted for training at Ireland's Ballymaloe Cookery School instead of one of his own kitchens. Gordon emphasised the importance of balance in life, saying, "Balance is critical. Every time we were filming throughout the US the kids would come with us and then we were take them out of school two weeks early, and they put them back two weeks late, so we would do the filming schedules around the shooting schedules. "It's a lot easier now, we had four amazing kids and then Tana and I has this crazy idea to go back for more. So there's quite a big gap. Megan, she's our eldest, she's 26, she's an incredible police officer back in London. "Then we have the twins who are 25; Jack is a Royal Marines Commando, Holly is in to her fashion. And then there's Matilda, who is 23, who has just come back from culinary school, would you believe, a beautiful school called Ballymaloe. "I am a little bit miffed that she didn't ask me to train her and she's gone off elsewhere. She's seen the shows, that's the problem! You've got to give them the values, and instil those values, they can't depend on mum and dad."

Kitchen Nightmares star Gordon Ramsay passed out as Ed Sheeran's music played during son's birth
Gordon Ramsay passed out when his son was born - as Ed Sheeran's songs played in the background. The 58-year-old TV chef was never in the delivery room for the births of his first four children - Megan, 26, fraternal twins Jack and Holly, 25, and 23-year-old Tilly - because his wife Tana Ramsay was adamant that she didn't want her husband to see her in the agony of labour, nor witness the realities of child birth. Gordon though was present when his son Oscar, six, came into the world as Tana was having their baby boy via caesarean section. But the Kitchen Nightmares star's moment of joy soon soon became a moment of panic when he feinted whilst holding the newborn, all to the soundtrack of Thinking Out Loud singer Sheeran. Appearing on the Smartless podcast, Gordon said: "Let's make one thing absolutely clear, my wife didn't want me in there. "First of all, she said, 'I want my mum and your mum in there, you're not going to see me in that state, that side of the curtain, get out of there.'

They popped him out and then they came straight over to me and I went, 'Woah, woah, s***.' I sat back and I collapsed like a f****** idiot." Gordon and Tana - who also have son Jesse James, who was born in 2023 - are enjoying being parents to young children again to Oscar and his younger brother Jesse James, who was born in 2023. The three Michelin star chef has always tried to instil a work ethic in his older four children and not hand them everything on a plate just because they are fortunate enough to have wealthy parents. Gordon is very proud of the varied career paths each of his older children have taken, but he is a little disappointed that his daughter Tilly, who wants to be a chef, decided to be trained at Ireland's Ballymaloe Cookery School rather than at one of her father's restaurants. He said: "Balance is critical. Every time we were filming throughout the US the kids would come with us and then we were take them out of school two weeks early, and they put them back two weeks late, so we would do the filming schedules around the shooting schedules.

Ed Sheeran copyright claim for Grammy-winning hit rejected by Supreme Court
Pop singer and award-winning songwriter Ed Sheeran found himself caught up in a 'devastating' lawsuit yet again, as he was accused of stealing from a classic 1970s hit Ed Sheeran is a hitmaker above all else, with countless number one songs and writing credits for the likes of Rihanna and One Direction, but his most recent success comes from a song he first released all the way back in 2014. One of the pop star's biggest songs, Thinking Out Loud, came under fire for allegedly using the copyright melody from Marvin Gaye 's Let's Get It On. This case was brought forward by Structured Asset Sales (SAS), which owns a portion of the rights to the song. Owner and investment banker David Pullman argued that the melody, harmony and rhythm were all copied by Sheeran. However, on July 16, the Supreme Court decided not to hear the case, keeping in place the lower court's decision that the singer was not liable in the copyright infringement lawsuit. READ MORE: Ed Sheeran's bitter family rift as star faces backlash for 'identifying culturally' as Irish It's not the first time the star celebrates such a victory, as this news follows his previous success in fighting a copyright lawsuit over the same song, but this time by the family of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote the 70s song. The family's accusations resulted in them seeking an eye-watering $100m (£73m) in damages from the star. Sheeran was angered by this and put his decision to fight the case down to the simple fact that he would not act as a "piggy bank" for "anyone to shake". Thinking Out Loud is still one of the singer's biggest songs to date after spending more than two years in the UK charts. Not to mention, it racked up an impressive 4.8 million sales in the UK alone and went on to take home the Song of the Year award at the 2016 Grammys. In 2023, this case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Louis Stanton, who decided that the elements the 34-year-old was accused of stealing are far too common. Following the verdict at the time, Sheeran spoke outside of the courthouse and shared his disappointment in being questioned on his song-writing capabilities. He said: "It's devastating to be accused of stealing someone else's song when we've put so much work into our livelihoods." Speaking on the matter this week was his co-writer, Amy Wadge. In an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, she shared that these copyright trials have "haunted" her for the last decade. Wadge further explained: "The absolute truth is that song changed my life. I didn't have a hit until I was 37, and that was the one. "I was able to feel like I'd had a hit for a year, and then all of a sudden it felt like the wolves were surrounding me. It was incredibly frightening." She went on to say that the case's dismissal was a "huge relief" for the both of them. Following on from the stress of the initial 2023 trial, both Wadge and Sheeran commemorated the event, commenting on how the pop star does best with a tattoo. The pair decided to get matching tattoos using a phrase one of the judges said in the trial: "independently created".
