Ed Sheeran music fills NYC federal courtroom on day two of trial over alleged stolen chords from Marvin Gaye song

Lawyers played for the jury a pared-down version of Sheeran's hit "Thinking Out Loud" to demonstrate similarities between his song and Marvin Gaye’s soul track “Let’s Get It On.” The demonstration was part of their effort to prove Sheeran stole a chord impression from the 1973 song written by Gaye and collaborator Ed Townsend.
