Structured Asset Sales, Llc V. Sheeran Et Al
Structured Asset Sales, LLC (SAS) has filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement against Ed Sheeran and several music companies, including Sony/ATV Music Publishing and Atlantic Recording Corporation. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants copied and exploited the musical composition of the song "Let's Get It On" without authorization or credit. Additionally, SAS claims that Sony/ATV Music Publishing and Stone Diamond Music Corp. breached their contract, duty of good faith, and duty of trust by failing to file applications for protection of the composition and not requiring the parties responsible for the creation, recording, and distribution of "Thinking Out Loud" to enter into a license with the owners of the "Let's Get It On" musical composition. SAS is seeking damages for the defendants' actions, including unauthorized reproduction, distribution, and public performance of the infringing composition in "Thinking Out Loud."
