“Blurred Lines” Case Finally Over
The fight over “Blurred Lines” is finally over. A judge has ruled that Robin Thicke and Pharrell will have to pay Marvin Gaye’s family $5 million in the lawsuit involving copyright infringement over the song, which was ruled to be a rip-off of Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up.”
The initial jury awarded Gaye’s family $7.3 million, but that was cut to $5.3 mil. Williams and Thicke hoped to overturn that ruling but lost. In addition to the $5 mil, Gaye’s family is now entitled to royalties from the song, which amounts to 50% of songwriter and publishing earnings from the tune.
