Told some of ya'll way back this lame toothpick T.I. was gonna have to come out of his pockets for this!

This Pelican looking motherfukker T.I. knew both Pharrell & Robin Thicke basically sampled Marvin Gaye's song without permission, but he went along for the ride anyway & when the single became popular he profited off it, along with sticking up for these thieves after Marvin Gaye's family filed a lawsuit. So if the #newblacks c00n spokesperson Pharrell & his fake R&B wigga homie Robin Slicke have to pay up, what makes you think T.I. shouldn't have to also?

Wrong! This new lawsuit being filed against T.I. has nothing to do with sample clearing whatsoever.


"Additionally, the judge is also being asked to set aside the jury's decision to give Clifford Harris, Jr. (aka T.I.) a pass and hold him accountable too."

"Near the end of the trial, the parties were in dispute over the jury verdict form and how to deal with the various forms of liability including direct, contributory and vicarious infringement. Ultimately, the jury seemed to take Gaye's ownership of sheet music compositions seriously and punish the songwriters, while allowing the record distributors to avoid sharing the burden of paying damages. The side controversy over liability has spilled over into post-trial proceedings.

The Gayes, represented by Richard Busch, contends that there's no separating out those who, "by virtue of their participation in the creation, manufacture and distribution" of the Williams/Thicke song, infringed the Gaye song, too. In its latest motion, the Gaye family quotes a statement by U.S. District Judge John Kronstadt that appears in agreement with this reasoning: "f the jury finds there’s infringement and if Universal distributed the recording, then according to what I heard [a lawyer for team Williams] say, they would be liable.”

“The jury found that the song ‘Blurred Lines’ infringes upon the musical copyright ‘Got to Give it Up’ but imposed liability only on Plaintiffs Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and Williams’ publishing entity, More Water From Nazareth Publishing, Inc. As a matter of law, all members of the distribution chain are liable for copyright infringement, including co-writer of the song ‘Blurred Lines,’ Clifford Harris, Jr. [also known as T.I.] and the Interscope Parties, who manufactured, licensed, distributed, and sold the infringing song, both as a single and as part of the album Blurred Lines.”
