The fat lady has sung and now Robin Thicke and Pharrell are going to have to pay. The musical duo teamed up for the hit single, "Blurred Lines" and made several million dollars off the hit. The song would have been written off as a complete success if accusations of copyright infringement hadn't arisen by Marvin Gaye's estate. A jury in California felt that the 1970's tune of Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" and the "Blurred Lines" composition resembled each other a tad too much. For this reason, Pharrell and Thicke were ordered to pay $7.4 million in damages. Check out both songs for yourself below. Comments are closed.
