Robin Thicke, T.I., And Pharrell Sue Marvin Gaye Estate Over ‘Blurred Lines’ Song

Still, the lawsuit argues that “being reminiscent of a ‘sound’ is not copyright infringement’ and that “the intent in producing ‘Blurred Lines’ was to evoke an era” rather than a specific song. The trio is also hopeful that the Gaye family does not have a valid claim to “Got To Give It Up’s” copyright to claim infringement.

George Clinton, the former leader of Funkadelic, who has had beefs in the past with Bridgeport Music, seems to be in total support of the trio of musicians.  He recently tweeted via his Twitter account:

George Clinton@george_clinton13h

No sample of #Funkadelic‘s ‘Sexy Ways’ in @RobinThicke‘s ‘Blurred Lines’ – yet Armen Boladian thinks so? We support @RobinThicke@Pharrell!

“Blurred Lines” has come under fire for its lyrics and video — both having been deemed sexist.  Thicke has fired back at his critics defending the song, referring to it as “respectful” and one that was crafted to open up conversations about relationships between men and women.

Sound off!

Do you think Robin Thicke & Co. Are Guilty of ‘Copying’ Gaye’s and Funkadelic’s Hits?
