Robin Thicke's mega-hit "Blurred Lines"
ripped off Marvin Gaye own #1 hit
"Got to Give It Up" that's the ruling that just
came down from the jury in downtown L.A.
Robin and the song's producer Pharrell Williams are now on the hook
for $7.3 million to Marvin's family because the jury found they infringed on
the Gaye copyright for his 1977 hit.
The jury ruled T.I who
raps on 'Blurred' was not responsible for the copyright infringement.
As we previously reported Marvin Gaye's
kids first sued Thicke back in 2013 for allegedly ripping off the song.
"Blurred Lines" was #1 on Billboard for 12 weeks that same year.
Pharrell's rep says the song was "created
from his heart, mind and soul and the song was not taken from anyone or
anywhere else." The rep adds they are reviewing the case and considering
options. Smells like an appeal is in the works. culled from tmz.
