A copyright battle over Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” was halted by a judge until a separate fight over Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” is resolved.
Holders of rights to Gaye’s 1973 song are demanding more than $100 million for the alleged theft of the composition for Ed Sheeran’s hit “Thinking Out Loud.”
