A more recent lawsuit saw Ed Sheeran sued by musician Sami Chokri for copyright infringement for his song “Shape of You.” Sami claimed that Ed Sheeran had sampled his 2015 hit “Oh Why” without any permission or credit for the tune. On the 6th of April, Sheeran won the court case, with the judge ruling that he had not plagiarised the song, as Chokri would have had to prove that Ed Sheeran had listened to the piece before releasing the hit “Shape of You” otherwise it was merely just a coincidence.
最近一樁由音樂人Sami Chokri 狀告 Ed Sheeran就其歌曲“Shape of You.”侵害著作權之訴訟。Sami主張Ed Sheeran未得其允許（或對下述歌曲有貢獻）以他2015年熱門歌曲“Oh Why”作為創作之藍圖。4月6日Sheeran贏得訴訟，理由係其並未抄襲上開歌曲，Chokri必須證明在Sheeran發表其歌曲“Shape of You”之前有聽過“Oh Why”，否則的話，其幾乎僅係巧合罷了。
