Singer Ed Sheeran wins ’Shape of You’ copyright dispute

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran on April 6 won his copyright trial at London's High Court after a judge ruled that his hit song "Shape of You" did not lift musical phrases from another track.

Judge Antony Zacaroli said that Sheeran "neither deliberately nor subconsciously" copied a phrase from British grime track, "Oh Why," when writing the worldwide smash hit.
