The threat isn’t as big a deal as Sheeran thinks it is. Regardless if him quitting, this is bad.
The 2 songs are similar, but they are indeed distinct. Having a precedent for this will give huge creative limitations on music cause “what if some artist I don’t know happened to write a similar song before me”

Do you recall the time John Fogerty had to perform a few songs in court to prove he wasn’t copying himself? Yes, fun times.

To claim that a particular chord progression is a ripoff of a song from fifty years ago is absurd. All music is derivative, FFS.

I’m no Sheeran fan and don’t care if he quits but of all the music infringement cases this has got to be the most pathetic.
