Ed Sheeran 'Thinking Out Loud' Lawsuit Dropped

The news came on the heels of another triumphant win when the lawsuit of his "Thinking Out Loud" lawsuit was dropped by the accusers. (via Billboard)

The accussers have conceded pursuing their appeal on the already decided win for Sheeran. It was ruled by a jury that Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud," did not infringe on Marvin Gaye's 1972 hit "Let's Get It On."

The accusers, led by Ed Townsend's heirs, the co-writer of the song, eventually dropped their appeal on the decision. The reason why was not revealed to the public. It was withdrawn with prejudice, meaning the accusers could not file the said complaint at any point in the future.
