Ed Sheeran wins 'Shape of You' plagiarism case - CNN

(CNN)British musician Ed Sheeran has won a high-profile copyright case over his 2017 hit song "Shape of You."

In a London High Court verdict Wednesday, a judge ruled Sheeran did not copy grime artist Sami Switch's song "Oh Why."
Switch, whose legal name is Sami Chokri, claimed Sheeran plagiarized a key part of the 2015 song.
In his verdict, Justice Zacaroli wrote he was satisfied Sheeran did not deliberately or subconsciously copy elements of Switch's "Oh Why."
Sheeran was accused of copyright infringement before.
In 2016, he was sued over his single "Photograph," which was settled out of court, and was accused more than once over his hit "Thinking Out Loud" starting the same year.

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people.
