- Summary: Ed Sheeran at court for 'Shape of You' copyright hearing Music star Ed Sheeran arrived at the High Court in London on March 7 for a hearing in a copyright case regarding his 2017 chart-topping hit song "Shape Of You". Sheeran was fighting copyright claims from grime artist Sami Chokri and music producer Ross O'Donoghue, who allege "Shape of You" infringes "particular lines and phrases" from their 2015 song "Oh Why", according to British media reports. On March 8, the singer-songwriter took the stand and denied borrowing ideas from other artists without attribution. Sheeran won the case in April.
