Music: DAMN!?! Gaye family wants T.I. held liable for Blurred Lines, too

[playahaitian]

'Blurred Lines' legal saga continues: Gaye family wants T.I. held liable, too

The “Blurred Lines” trial may have reached its verdict—wherein Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke were ordered to pay Marvin Gaye’s children $7.3 million—but the fight isn’t over.

As Thicke and Williams’ lawyer warned, the artists have filed paperwork declaring the jury’s verdict “inconsistent,” in the hopes of getting another trial.

And on the other side of the fence, the Gaye family attorneys have filed a new motion seeking for rapper T.I. (who also appeared on “Blurred Lines”) and the record label to be held liable for copyright infringement alongside Thicke, Williams and Williams’ publishing company. The motion reads:

“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.”​

Last week, we reported that the Gaye family also wants to halt all sales of “Blurred Lines” until the parties can reach an agreement about how to split future profits.

Nope.

Nope.

Cuz they won that case when pretty much everyone thought they would lose.

and Sam Smith?

I could see this happening.

and like I said before it won't be the last by a long shot.

 

[therealjondoe]

Tripping

 

[the artist]

I hear that the reason they're now doing this is because they want a writer's credit for the song to ensure future royalties for the song.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Is he credited as a writer or producer? If so, burn his ass!

 

[Upgrade Dave]

This was an overreach before and it still is.

He wrote his part. That's it. He had no connection to the music so why would he be liable?
Sometimes people just can't take yes for an answer.

His independent writing should be separate. It wasn't influenced by anything Gaye related. So nope.

Thicke and Pharrell openly admitted to listening to the song and then creating this one that's the entire reason they lost. Not because of everything else. They lost because of that interview Thicke gave saying they actually listened to the Marvin Gaye song and then right after listening to it said they wanted to make a song like that and then made blurred lines.

It's not going to cripple the music industry fam

Just like the Sam Smith song, the writers admitted to actually listening to the Tom Petty song and then creating the stay with me.

These two admitted to being influenced by the songs they are accused of taking from.

So could this effect artists ADMITTING influenced in the future?

Like on liner notes blogs interviews etc?

Isn't that a bad thing overall keeping people out of the process?

Or could be a good thing leaving some mystery to the art not explaining and simplifying and Demystifying it with over analysis?

 

[Coldchi]

they gonna go after the music engineers, mixers, and studio sound men next......whoever was in the studio during the making of the song.

That's the only thing that bit them in the ass though. saying the exact song that they're accused of taking from is what inspired the song.

if they just said yea we wanted to get a marvin gaye teddy pendegrass early luther vandross bounce feel to it

then they'd say OK i can see that it does feel like ALL of them... can't pinpoint 1 song 1 sound can't sue imo.

but you can't say yea it sounds like the song you think we stole from because in fact we actually listened to that song in the studio and decided we wanted to make a song exactly like THAT

Very good points.

I thought it was the wrong verdict but I understand how it came to be.
Even someone who played on the Gaye song said he didn't think it was the same song and sided with Williams and Thicke until he listened to them explain how it inspired them. Just what they said turned him against them.

They're def reaching. Go for Williams and Thicke, I see that, but leave Tip out.
He heard the beat, wrote some crap on paper and showed up in the vid.
He wasn't apart of the creative control of the record.

See now they're being greedy. They're going from victims to assholes for this one. You were granted 7 million...had they paid you for the sample it wouldn't have cost NEARLY that much. You were over compensated and now you going for TIP?
