Musicology experts have given contrasting views at a High Court trial over whether Ed Sheeran’s hit Shape Of You has “significant similarities” or is “distinctively different” from a song he is accused of ripping off.
American forensic musicologist Anthony Ricigliano concluded in a report for a copyright legal row that it was “objectively unlikely” that any similarities between the 2017 track and the song Oh Why by Sami Chokri “result from copying”.
