Date	Controversy	Outcome
June 2016	“Photograph” Copyright Infringement​Sheeran was sued by songwriters Martin Harrington and Thomas Leonard, alleging that “Photograph” copied elements from Matt Cardle’s “Amazing.”	The lawsuit was settled out of court in April 2017, with Sheeran regretting the settlement, feeling it affected his relationship with the song.
March 2022	“Shape of You” Copyright Lawsuit​Musicians Sami Chokri and Ross O’Donoghue accused Sheeran of copying parts of their song “Oh Why” in “Shape of You.”	In April 2022, the High Court ruled in Sheeran’s favor, stating he did not deliberately or subconsciously copy “Oh Why.” Sheeran criticized the prevalence of such claims, stating they are “really damaging to the songwriting industry.”
April 2023	“Thinking Out Loud” Copyright Trial​The heirs of Ed Townsend, co-writer of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On,” sued Sheeran, alleging similarities between the song and Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.”	In May 2023, a New York jury found in Sheeran’s favor, concluding he did not infringe on the copyright. Sheeran emphasized that common chord progressions are building blocks used to create music long before and after “Let’s Get It On.”
November 2024	Band-Aid 40 Vocal Usage​Sheeran expressed discontent over his vocals being used without consent in a new mix of “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for its 40th anniversary.	Sheeran stated that had he been asked, he would have declined participation, aligning with criticisms that the song perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Africa.
