Ed Sheeran is being sued for $100m over Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On.
It's alleged the singer ripped off sections of the 1973 classic for his number one hit Thinking Out Loud.
Legal documents in the US allege it copies "the melody, rhythms, harmonies, drums, bass line, backing chorus, tempo, syncopation and looping".

I've had a listen and really can't see where they think its 'ripping off'. Chord progression is the same but then there are numerous songs which shared the same chord progression but have different melodies.
Sounds as if the're asking for $100m but hoping for a payoff of $1m just to go away.
