Shape of You singer Ed Sheeran won the copyright trial case, which alleged that he plagiarized the Marvin Gaye hit Let’s Get It On for his Thinking Out Loud song.

After just a few hours of discussion on Thursday, the jury issued a decision clearing him of copyright infringement, capping a case that lasted just under two weeks. Sheeran gave a statement to the media outside the courthouse in which he expressed his frustration at being charged with plagiarism and having the case go to trial.

Sheeran said, “I am obviously very happy with the outcome of the case, and it looks like I’m not going to have to retire from my day job after all.” Sheeran also informed that having to be in New York for the trial had prevented him from attending his grandmother’s funeral in Ireland.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
