Singer Ed Sheeran appears on NBC's "Today" show at Rockefeller Center in New York, U.S., June 6, 2023. A court filing on Wednesday said that songwriter Ed Townsend's estate would withdraw the appeal with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled. Attorneys for Townsend's estate did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. A jury determined after a six-day trial in May that Sheeran's song did not infringe Townsend's copyright in "Let's Get It On." Pullman's company has a separate lawsuit pending against Sheeran based on its rights in the sound recording of "Let's Get It On."

☆ Ed Sheeran beats second copyright lawsuit over 'Thinking Out Loud'

Companies Warner Music Group Corp FollowMay 16 (Reuters) - British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran on Tuesday defeated a second copyright lawsuit in federal court in Manhattan over similarities between his hit "Thinking Out Loud" and Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." Stanton presided over both cases, which concerned co-writer Ed Townsend's share of Gaye's 1973 classic. Townsend's heirs failed to convince jurors that Sheeran infringed their part of Townsend's copyright in the song. It sued Sheeran, his label Warner Music Group (WMG.O) and his music publisher Sony Music Publishing in 2018 after Townsend's heirs filed their lawsuit. Structured Asset Sales has filed another lawsuit against Sheeran based on its rights to Gaye's recording, which is still pending.
