Ed Sheeran says allegations in copyright infringement trial are 'really insulting' | CNN Business

Musician Ed Sheeran appeared visibly frustrated on the stand Monday as he continued his testimony in the second week of his copyright infringement case about whether his smash single “Thinking Out Loud” copied the classic Marvin Gaye song “Let’s Get It On.” Sheeran said he found the allegations in the case “really insulting.” At one point, the musician said, “I’m not gonna swear.” He also disputed the testimony of Alexander Stewart, the plaintiffs’ expert witness.

Sheeran previously testified that Wadge came up with the basic chord progression in the opening part of the song. Wadge never formally learned how to play guitar and since her skill level is “pretty basic,” she has to rely on the building blocks, she said. “I was just playing some simple chords that I knew how to play,” Wadge said on the stand, adding that she’s used similar chords in other songs.
