The singer, along with collaborator Pharrell, has lost the first legal battle against the Marvin Gaye Family. Judge John Kronstradt has ruled in favor of the Gaye family after a team of music experts proved that elements of the smash hit reflected substantial similarities to Marvin’s song “Got to Give It Up.” While Thicke, Pharrell and even T.I. attempted to protect themselves by filing a countersuit against Bridgeport Music and the Gaye family, it seems the lawsuit will be a lengthy affair, especially since the Gaye family already declined a 6 figure settlement offered by Robin himself.

See they should of gave up the dough from the beginning but they tried to play tough. Now they will have to give up publishing. "Blurred Lines" sold 7x Platinum in the U.S. and over 15 Million Worldwide. Marvin Gaye's son about to eat.

Pretty much and the Gaye family deserves every penny. Pharrell ol punk ass acting like he cant remember where he got the idea for the beat in court and then straight up denying its a straight jack/interpolation of the OG.

I think the song was inspired by Marvin Gaye and it sounds kind of similar, but I don't think its a crime by any means.

How is it even possible to sue for using a similar sound in a production?
