For years, there have been “Blurred Lines” between Robin Thicke’s viral monitor with Pharrell Williams & T.I., and Marvin Gaye’s basic single “Got to Give It Up.” Finally, a California federal decide has handed down the ruling in favor Gaye’s property.
According to Judge John A. Kronstadt’s amended judgment, , Thicke, Williams, and Williams’ More Water From Nazareth Publishing Inc. are collectively required to payout almost 5 million for deemed copyright infringement and extra damages. The actual complete: $four,983,766.85.
On high the whole lot, Gaye’s household will obtain 50 p.c all “Blurred Lines” royalties shifting ahead.
A consultant for Williams described the decision as “extraordinarily disappointing,” and a “horrible precedent” to set for “music and creativity.” He went on to say, “Pharrell created ‘Blurred Lines’ from his coronary heart, thoughts and soul and the tune was not taken from anybody or anyplace else. We are reviewing the choice, contemplating our choices and you'll hear extra from us quickly about this matter.”
Apparently there are not any “Blurred Lines” in relation to copyright infringement. Still, it’s a bop.
