Pharrell & Robin Thicke Lose 'Blurred Lines' Lawsuit

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams lost, this Tuesday, the lawsuit against Marvin Gaye’s family over the 2013 hit ‘Blurred Lines’.
A Los Angeles jury found, Thicke and Pharrell, guilty of infringed on the copyright for Marvin Gaye’s 1977 single “Got to Give It Up”, awarding $7.4 million to Gaye’s family.
The jury came to that conclusion after several comments made by Thicke in an interview with GQ back in May 2013:
“[O]ne of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye’s ‘Got to Give It Up.’ I was like, ‘Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove’ . . .Then [Pharrell] started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it. The whole thing was done in a couple hours.”
DUH!
Thicke later tried to back out of his comments by saying he was “high on Vicodin and alcohol” throughout the recording sessions.
Watch the video and tell us if you think both songs sound alike or not.
