Ed Sheeran regrets settling Photograph copyright case

[Teletubby 150,097]

In 2017, Ed Sheeran settled a $20m copyright infringement case for his song Photograph, something he said he now regrets doing.
He said he was advised to settle that, he was on tour. There is also culture around this and he probably would lose.
"I didn't play Photograph for ages after that. I just stopped playing it. I felt weird about it, it kind of made me feel dirty," he said.

To guard himself against any similar claims in the future, Ed began filming all of his creative writing sessions. 
He said he did not apply this protective measure to collaborative writing sessions involving other artists such as the Shape of You writing sessions with McDaid and producer Steven McCutcheon.

But he said: "Now I just film everything, everything is on film."

Ed Sheeran says his recent High Court copyright case over Shape of You was not about money but honesty and standing up for what was right.
Sheeran said he did not have a choice but to defend his work in court.

A judge ruled on Wednesday that Sheeran had not plagiarised the song Oh Why by Sami Chokri.
