Robin Thicke noticeably ripped off Marvin Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got to Give It Up” when he wrote the smash hit “Blurred Lines” with Pharrell Williams and T.I., a Los Angeles jury has decided. He and co-songwriter Pharrell Williams must pay Gaye’s family $7.3 million as part of the ruling
quote:
"While we respect the judicial process, we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward," a spokesperson for Williams tells Rolling Stone. "Pharrell created ‘Blurred Lines’ from his heart, mind and soul and the song was not taken from anyone or anywhere else. We are reviewing the decision, considering our options and you will hear more from us soon about this matter."

I listened to both songs just to judge for myself. EXACT same music. Guilty!

So blatantly stealing music is part of the creative process?

No it doesn't. It sets a great precedent forcing artists to be more creative and not sample existing music.

Should have used Pied Piper.

I will stay this, the Gaye family had a heck of a stronger claim than Tom Petty did.
Still, if anything, Thick maybe stole the idea not the actual music itself.

I listened to "Blurred Lines" for the very first time last night after reading of this verdict. The thing that I want to know is how in the hell does their record company not know better? That is just blatant incompetence on their part. They should have just gotten permission. Puff Daddy made an entire career off of stealing other people's music, but he at least asked nicely before stealing it.

This is a bull shite decision, as far as I can tell.

That song is so Gaye

Should consult with David Bowie and Vanilla Ice. They should settle this.

They use the same instruments, have a similar bass line and timing, but otherwise I don't hear it. One is similar to the other, but I think clearly different. Can every old artist now sue every new artist because they are playing a similar genre of music?

This will hurt RT a lot more than PW.
Posted on 3/11/15 at 2:41 pm to ForeverLSU02
These songs do not sound that similar.
