Marvin Gaye’s estate has been on a legal frenzy lately, and they don’t seem to be stopping anytime soon after drilling $7.4m from suing Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams for infringement rights on their ‘Blurred Lines’ track. Now they want to include rapper, T.I., UMG and Interscope in the mix.
HollywoodReporter.com states that on Tuesday night, March 17, the family filed new lawsuits to include the latter.
The Gaye’s family attorney Richard Busch is concrete on the belief that there is no separation between those who distributed the song and those who created it. Meaning that the label could be held responsible as well.
Reports have surfaced stating that since the ruling was announced, Pharrell and Robin have plans of appealing the case. Not to mention the family’s recent sentiments on Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ also sounding a bit too similar to Gaye’s ‘Ain’t That Peculiar.’
Further details of this ongoing feud are still pending.
