Ed Sheeran did not steal part of Shape of You hit from Sami Switch, High Court rules
Daily Mirror says Ed Sheeran has won a High Court battle over whether his 2017 hit Shape of You copied another artist’s song.
The judge’s ruling over whether the smash copied part of the 2015 song Oh Why, was delivered this morning.
Sheeran and his Shape Of You co-writers, Snow Patrol’s John McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon, denied ripping off the song by Sami Chokri.
Chokri, a grime artist who performs under the name Sami Switch, and his co-writer Ross O’Donoghue, claimed an “Oh I” hook in Shape Of You is “strikingly similar” to an “Oh Why” refrain in their track.
