British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran's lawyer on Wednesday urged jurors to reject a lawsuit accusing Sheeran of copying Marvin Gaye's classic "Let's Get it On," calling the copyright infringement case involving the hit song "Thinking Out Loud" an attempt to claim ownership over basic elements of music.

Ilene Farkas, in her closing argument in Manhattan federal court, said there was"not a single shred of evidence" to contradict testimony by Sheeran and his co-writer Amy Wadge, who told jurors they wrote"Thinking Out Loud" based on their own experiences and drew musical inspiration from singer Van Morrison.
