British singer ‘neither deliberately nor subconsciously’ copied a phrase from song by Sami Chokri, judge says
Ed Sheeran has won a high court battle over whether he plagiarised another artist’s track for his hit single Shape of You, the most streamed song in Spotify’s history.
In a ruling on Wednesday, Mr Justice Zacaroli concluded that Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously” copied a phrase from Oh Why when writing Shape of You.
