MASHUP SONGS TRIAL

A jury awarded Gaye’s heirs $7.4 million at trial it was later trimmed to $5.3 million by the judge. Notably, the court took into account not just sheet music but studio arrangement too and ruled that “Blurred Lines” significantly aped the vibe of “Got to Give It Up,” something that had previously been beyond copyright protection. While the Gaye family is not involved in the “Thinking Out Loud” lawsuits against Sheeran, the precedent set in a different case involving Gaye’s music and “Blurred Lines” looms over all new copyright infringement claims. (It will focus on the sheet music that was submitted to the U.S. “A work may be copyrightable even though it is entirely a compilation of unprotectable elements.”ĭuring the trial, the jury will listen to recordings of the tracks, focusing on the melody, harmony, and rhythm of the track, as opposed to the song’s lyrics. “There is no bright-line rule that the combination of two unprotectable elements is insufficiently numerous to constitute an original work,” Judge Louis Stanton wrote in his decision. Late last year in an attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed, Sheeran’s lawyers argued that the song elements in question were too common to be protected by copyright and that the lawsuit was “baseless,” the BBC reported. “The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic compositions of ‘Thinking’ are substantially and/or strikingly similar to the drum composition of ‘Let’s.’” (In 2019, the Townsend estate’s lawsuit was ultimately postponed by the judge because he wanted to wait for the resolution of a similar case against Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”) “The Defendants copied the ‘heart’ of ‘Let’s’ and repeated it continuously throughout ‘Thinking,’” according to the 2016 lawsuit. The new opening statements from Crump come six years after the heirs of Ed Townsend - who co-wrote the 1973 song with Gaye - filed a lawsuit against Sheeran, alleging that it had “striking similarities” that violate the copyright.

Farkas explained that the elements in Sheeran’s song are frequently used and were not implemented by Gaye first. Sheeran’s lawyer Irene Farkas told the court that the musician and Amy Wadge wrote the “heartfelt song” on their own “without copying” Gaye.
