Not a counter suit.  The successful party in a litigation gets their costs - however that is defined in the particular jurisdiction.

Thanks. I was just thinking that making it a bit more costly to go after song rights would make people think harder about it.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

The costs will likely be substantial - there was likely a fair amount of expert evidence and that does not come cheap.

Do the costs cover the cost of hiring Ed Sheeran for however many hours? He can't be cheap.
