Ed Sheeran won the copyright lawsuit on his 2017 hit ‘Shape of You’. A High Court judge ruled that the singer-songwriter did not plagiarize Sami Chokri’s 2015 song ‘Oh Why’. Chokri, a grime musician who performs under the stage name of Sami Switch, had stated that the incision “Oh I” in the Sheeran track was “surprisingly similar” to his “Oh Why”, present in the homonymous track. . After the ruling, Sheeran said “baseless” allegations are now “too common”. In a video posted on social media Sheeran warned about the phenomenon that “a lawsuit is filed, even if there is no basis for doing so, with the idea that for the accused, reaching an agreement by paying will be cheaper than following. a trial in court. “This, Sheeran continued,” is really bad for the songwriting industry. There are very few chords used in pop music. Coincidence is bound to happen if 60,000 songs are released every day on Spotify. There are 22 million songs a year and there are only 12 notes available “. ‘Shape of You’ was the UK’s best-selling song of 2017 in the UK and was Spotify’s most streamed song. Judge Antony Zacaroli ruled that Sheeran had “neither deliberately nor unconsciously copied” the song by Chokri. He acknowledged that there were “similarities in a line” of ‘Shape of You’ and ‘Oh Why’, but added that “such similarities are only a starting point for possible copyright infringement”. After studying the musical elements, he determined that there were “relevant differences between the parts” of the songs. And that this “provides compelling evidence that the phrase ‘Oh I'” in Sheeran’s song “originated from sources other than Oh Why.”
