📌NOTE: In this video, I feel like I went too heavy with the "Plagiarism" aspect of some of these examples. Particularly with "Shape of You" Vs. "No Scrubs" I think it was unfair of me to call that plagiarism as I believe it may actually be the case that Sheeran went about that lifting in the same way as a typical sample, i.e. obtaining permission and paying royalties. I also feel like I went a bit too heavy and sensationalist on some of the other examples, including "Amazing" vs. "Photograph". I'm not saying that copyright infringement didn't occur, but myself dubbing it "plagiarism" may have been too exetreme.

When you think of pop song lawsuits, Ed Sheeran is one of the first songwriters to come to mind. He has been tangled up in various legal disputes over the apparent plagiarism in many of his songs.
