Ed Sheeran denies Shape of You copyright claim at High Court trial
Ed Sheeran has told the High Court he does not “borrow” ideas from unknown songwriters without credit. The singer-songwriter has been accused by two other songwriters of copying parts of his 2017 hit Shape Of You. Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue’s barrister suggested Sheeran treated lesser-known songwriters differently from famous ones.
