Two songwriters are suing Sheeran claiming he stole from their own work, “note-for-note,” to create the hit “Photograph.”

Ed Sheeran was sued Wednesday for $20 million by two songwriters who claim he plagiarized their work “note-for-note” to make the hit single “Photograph.”

Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard are suing in federal court for copyright infringement and are demanding a jury trial, claiming Sheeran stole from their song “Amazing.” Leonard and Harrington claim that the song served as the template for the 2012 single for Matt Cardle, who won the reality talent show X Factor.

Harrington and Leonard allege Sheeran and John “Johnny” McDaid, the other credited writer of the hit song “Photograph,” engaged in “verbatim, note-for-note copying” making up half of the hit song, according to the federal lawsuit.

I hate Ed with all my heart for his pointless, unfunny remark about Lady Gaga confusing him for a waiter at a 2015 Grammys afterparty. 

Go to hell you phoney goody little two shoes with an innocent smile, dead eyes and copycat lyrics.

Mmm yeah the choruses definitely have a similar thing to them 

Photograph remains superior. Expecting this to be settled out of court
