The Script suing James Arthur for copyright infringement

The Script’s Daniel O’Donoghue and Mark Sheehan, alongside co-writers Andrew Frampton and Stephen Kipner are alleging in the filed lawsuit that 'The Man Who Can’t Be Moved' - released in 2008 - has near identical beats and melodies as James Arthur’s 2016, 'Say You Won’t Let Go'.

James Arthur - whose most recent album, Back From The Edge, came in 2016 - denies the claims. Arthur, along with co-writers Neil Ormandy, Steve Solomon, their publishing companies and record labels, have all been named as defendants in the case.

The Tennessean reports that the plaintiffs in the case are being represented by Nashville attorney, Richard Busch, who also represented Marvin Gaye’s estate in the multi-million dollar case involving Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams.
