Ed Sheeran wins Shape of You copyright case
Ed Sheeran has won a High Court copyright battle over his 2017 hit Shape of You.
A judge ruled on Wednesday that the singer-songwriter had not plagiarised the 2015 song Oh Why by Sami Chokri.
Chokri, a grime artist who performs under the name Sami Switch , had claimed the " Oh I" hook in Sheeran's track was " strikingly similar" to an " Oh why" refrain in his own track.
Sheeran said he did not remember hearing Oh Why before the legal case.
Shape of You was the UK's best-selling song of 2017 in the UK and is Spotify's most-streamed ever.
It was co-written with Sheeran's collaborators, Snow Patrol 's John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon, who also denied allegations of copying.
Legal proceedings were launched in 2018 and resulted in an 11-day trial in London last month.
Giving evidence, Sheeran denied that he " borrows" ideas from unknown songwriters without acknowledgement, insisting he was always " completely fair" in crediting people who contribute to his work.
Andrew Sutcliffe QC, representing Chokri and his co-writer Ross O'Donoghue, labelled Sheeran a " magpie" claiming he " habitually copies" other artists and that it was " extremely likely" he had previously heard Oh Why.
Forensic musicologists were called by both sides to argue the case, One said the songs were " distinctly different" but The Other argued they contained " significant similarities".
Ian Mill QC, representing Sheeran, said for The Star and his collaborators, while Chokri described The High Court case " the worst few weeks of my life".
