Sheeran has denied the
allegations, and his lawyers
have argued that the songs are
not similar enough to be
considered copyright
infringement. The case is still
pending, and a trial is scheduled
to begin in February 2023.
The outcome of the case could
have implications for the music
industry as a whole. If Sheeran
is found liable, it could make it
more difficult for artists to
create new music without fear
of being sued.
