Ed Sheeran wins US copyright trial

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran says verdict will help protect the creative process for songwriters in the US and globally.

“It’s devastating to be accused of stealing someone else’s song when we’ve put so much work into our livelihoods,” Sheeran said outside the courthouse following the verdict. “I’m just a guy with a guitar who loves writing music for people to enjoy. I am not and will never allow myself to be a piggy bank for anyone to shake,” Sheeran said after the verdict.Testifying during the trial, Sheeran denied the copyright infringement claims, telling the jury, “I find it really insulting to devote my whole life to being a performer and a songwriter and have someone diminish it.

Sheeran testified that singers frequently perform such “mash ups,” and that he had on other occasions combined his song with Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love” and Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.”
