That's literally straight up copying lol

Maybe he didn't do it on purpose? Like what would be the incentive to use blatantly copying if you know you're big enough to be noticed.

how much did they end up getting?

Not sure about any actual figures, but I know the original producers and lyricists have official writing credits on + are getting royalties from SOY now, so in the end probably more money than any of us will ever see lool

Obvious plagiarism is obvious. Yet he has the nerve to say everyone copies him.

Why hasnt Sia already sued him.

Technically speaking, I think only the lyrics of Cheap Thrills belong to Sia. The melody or production, rather, belongs to Greg Kurstin, her producer. And he seems like a pretty chill guy so I doubt he would.

Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis.

This is yesterdays news. 

"Ed Sheeran's $20 million "Photograph" lawsuit is behind him.

According to THR, court papers were filed dismissing the case with prejudice, and a stipulation stated that a California federal court would "retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of an agreement." It's not known what the settlement entailed, but Sheeran, Sony/ATV and Warner Music likely ponied up something to avoid the case escalating further.

The news comes several weeks after Sheeran added TLC's "No Scrubs" co-writers to the writing credits of "Shape Of You," probably to avoid another headache like this."

Now we can all move on. :awkney:

That is literally the same song in a different key. I have never seen anything so blatantly plagiarised before.

And to think that Ed Sheeran has the audacity to say everyone's copying him and his style. Piss off.  

I love you for saying that !!!

I'm starting to think those Alejandro candles are being used by fans for something other than collectibles. :awkney: Ed Sheeran and The Chainsmokers are not having the best week.

This was in the news ages ago though and Matt even said that it's not him who was trying to sue, confusing

There's a thread somewhere here about their new album getting very bad reviews.. Both from users and critics. The critics are seriously dragging them.
