Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry

It’s not every day an international pop star plays guitar on the stand. But that’s precisely what happened just before a New York jury decided that Ed Sheeran’s 2014 ballad “Thinking Out Loud” did not infringe on Marvin Gaye’s iconic hit “Let’s Get it On.” This week on Pro Say, the hosts probe the latest in a series of copyright decisions that have kept the pop music scene on its toes. Also this week, Law 360 senior reporter Nathan Hale cuts through the politics and explains exactly what is going on in the legal fracas between the Walt Disney Company and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Also, the Justice Department comes up empty in its push against anti-poaching deals in the defense sector, the latest in a downward trend for the government’s labor-side antitrust efforts.
