Singer-songwriter John McDaid has described the idea of plagiarising other people’s work as “abhorrent” in the High Court dispute over the copyright of a song he wrote with Ed Sheeran.
The Snow Patrol band member said he “wholeheartedly” disagreed with an apparent implication he was “a habitual infringer of other people’s copyrights” in a written witness statement for a trial centred on the creation of the 2017 hit Shape Of You.
