The copyright case involving Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" has reached the Supreme Court, spotlighting judicial deference and pre-1976 copyright law. The plaintiff, Structured Asset Sales, claims Sheeran copied elements of Marvin Gaye and Ed Townsend's "Let's Get It On." However, the Second Circuit dismissed the claim, pointing out that the pre-1976 copyright scope only covers elements in the original deposit copy submitted to the Copyright Office. This means Sheeran's case benefited from the limited copyright protections of that time period, significantly influencing the legal arguments at play.
The dispute over Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" raises significant questions about copyright interpretations and protection scope under the 1909 Copyright Act.
The Second Circuit affirmed the dismissal of infringement claims against Sheeran, emphasizing the technical limitations imposed by pre-1976 copyright law.
