Robin Thicke Sued Marvin Gaye's Family -- Claim They Didn't Steal A Dang Thing
In order to shield "Blurred Lines," the hottest hit of the summer, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and Clifford Harris, Jr. are going to court.
A lawsuit was filed Thursday in California federal court by the trio against Marvin Gaye's family and Bridgeport Music . . . .. At issue are complaints about similarities between "Blurred Lines" and at least two songs.
"[T]here are no similarities between plaintiffs' composition and those the claimants allege they own, other than commonplace musical elements," states the lawsuit. "Plaintiffs created a hit and did it without copying anyone else's composition." More.
I don't know about that.
