Re: 'Blurred Lines' Jury Orders Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 millio

The funniest part to me was how quick that CAC was to absolve himself of having any creative input whatsoever. He threw Pharrell's New Black ass under a whole fleet of buses trying to beat this.

Wasn't nobody tripping off of Sam Smith Stealing from Tom Petty though huh? Petty deserves it off of "feel" right?

why would you bring up Tom Petty?

Tom Pettys song and the other guys song have the exact same sung melody, chord progression, resolution annd everything. Huge difference.

And BTW Tom Petty got paid for all that anyway. You coulda looked that up.

you can disagree with it all you want, but you were not just wrong, you were a fucking double dutch bus dumb ass.

Yup. I was wrong about what I thought the court would decide. No big deal. We all know courts can be wrong, but I won't bitch about it all day. They decided, and they agree with you.

Now THIS part is kinda funny If he really did write in that song (which I believe he did) that and decided to lie like that, that was whack

Stevie, master songwriter that he is, knows everybody uses a little influence from time to time, that's why he knows this is bullshit.

Out in Hollywood, ya got all kinds of characters out there. Somebody leaden them folk wrong and taking advantage of people who obviously don't know shit.

By the time they do, they'll be out of some cash...



you guys get it? Same VIBE, same BEAT, literally influenced by. No one sues for that shit. Or at least no one WINS

Re: 'Blurred Lines' Jury Orders Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 millio

this was ridiculous. I guess Michael Jackson's kids are going to sue Chris Brown for "fine China", aerosmith suing Calvin Harris for "we'll be coming back", Madonna suing lady gaga for, well, everything, but not until Michael Jackson's kids sue her for "like a virgin" which is pretty much "billie Jean " in a major key.

People need understand that the top forty is a gene in its own right. Just like how blues, reggae, rock and other genres have certain similarities that define them so do hits. When chorus rule that those defining elements are infringements you give them the ability to destroy an entire industry.

Nice debate. Wait till y'all, the Gaye family, and the rest of the world listen to Ed Sheeran's "Thinkin Out Loud" ( another #1song by a white soul singer) and realize that at some point he was influenced by Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On"

Im glad Robin Thicke threw Pharrell's coon ass under the bus. Im glad the world now knows Pharrell STEALS beat ideas and lazily calls them "inspirations". Fuck a New Black/Old Coon.

I never got why people were mad at Thicke for this, Pharell wrote and produced this song all by himself, the only thing Thicke did was sing the song

He may be safe since it's only in the chorus, but it is the same progression,and becomes more obvious at the end of the song. Even has similar back grounds as "Let's Get It On"...Probably scared as shit right now..lol

Re: 'Blurred Lines' Jury Orders Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 millio

Here's an interesting fact, the jury found them guilty based off of sheet music for both of the songs, not the audio recording so it wasn't just an "ear test" for the jury

Yea, i just read where it was stated that the sheet music was nearly identical. But the experts here said it was nothing alike in sound or structure. Fucking clowns.

Re: 'Blurred Lines' Jury Orders Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 millio

The story is about three musicians who lost a copyright infringement lawsuit that was almost unmatched in the large amount of damages and the small burden of proof. It set a precedent that threatens to turn the entire music industry on its ass. So where does skin color come in?

You want to argue that Robin Thicke stole from black artists the way many MANY other whites historically have? Okay fine. Now explain how Thicke gets nailed while most other white thieves who committed MUCH worse atrocities walk away scott free.

You want to talk about how he threw Pharrell under the bus? GOOD. I agree. He pulled the same shit Justin Timberlake did on Janet Jackson which is why I have practically zero respect for either of them. Then again even if he had his back it wouldn't change the verdict so that's a separate issue.

White artists Sam Smith and Tom Petty got into it over two songs that were far less similar than Thicke and Gaye's so in the end I don't think that racism is the dominant force in this issue. I think it has more to do with greedy yesteryear artists who are unwilling to share one iota of their legacy with the creative commons that spawned them. This monster has to be contained before the top 40 is filled with a bunch of Phillip Glass type soundscapes from artists scared of being sued.

 

[Skinnie Talls]

Re: 'Blurred Lines' Jury Orders Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 millio

I don't agree with the verdict. Disco songs all have the same 4 on the floor beat/groove. They got found guilty on an interpolation, that's incredible when folks out here blatantly sampling. Dr.Dre had a lawsuit on an interpolation a while back from "Let's Get High" which interpolates Fatback's 'Backstrokin'.' Don't remember if he lost but that shit wasn't even a single.


However I have been reminded over the past couple of years just because that's what the jury decides doesn't exactly mean they got it right.
