Ed Sheeran denies Shape of You copyright claim at High Court trial
The pop singer is accused by two songwriters of copying parts of his 2017 hit Shape Of You. …
But Sheeran denied the claim that he is a “magpie” who lifts other people’s work without acknowledgment, pointing out that he has often shared credit with lesser-known artists, including Shivers and Visiting Hours, and a song that sampled an “unknown composer’s” work from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
