This week musician Ed Sheeran won a copyright case brought against him claiming he stole his hit Shape of You. Back in 1976 George Harrison was not so lucky when he was ordered to pay compensation for 'stealing' aspects of The Chiffons He's So Fine when writing his 1970 hit My Sweet Lord. Generally it seems the law has resisted supporting claims of musical plagiarism and you can't help feeling Harrison might have got a better verdict today.
