Robin Thicke Burn In HELL
- Thread starter staxwax

Thicke made a strange decision to not settle and go to court instead.
Settling would have been a lot cheaper.
Many, many hit songs pay out both legit and bogus claims.
Among the trial highlights was the revelation that even though his name appears on the writer credits, he did not help write the song. He says he put it there because of ego. More like because of $$$$$$$$. PW says he doesn't care, stars put their names on his songs all the time.
Thicke also played a medley of pop hits, in court, from the likes of; the Beatles, U2, and Bob Marley. No youtube.

Bizarre, and irresposible.
Although that youtube link is from 2009, so whats going on there?
Is this something that came about before blurred lines and is only being picked up now that he's (more) famous?

i'm not sure i get the outrage here (aside from the frivolous, pre-emptive lawsuit which was a publicity stunt that backfired tremendously).

Tremendous legal analysis from the Hamilton Burger of Soulstrut.

looks like M. Gaye did get a credit on that track: http://www.discogs.com/Robin-Thicke-Sex-Therapy-The-Experience/release/2963716

Yes it's real.
This one too
The execrable thicke wasn't just a spoilt fuck who was handed a music career by a rich daddy in the industry, talmbout wealth/white privilege,
Daddy Gave Me My Career
he repeatedly bit-copied the holiest of the holy and then had the gall to turn around and deny it in this case.
Not only to deny, but to smugly appropriate and preemptively sue the Gaye estate is spitting in the face of the Marvin Gaye legacy, and a flagrant offence to lovers of all things good and true everywhere.

Possibly the best thing to come out of this whole mess is Robin Thicke's court illustration.
Its got 1987 private press eccentric smooth jazz LP written all over it.

I understand people not liking Robin Thicke (I can barely look at the guy), but this verdict is complete, 100% bullshit.
These songs don't even have the same melody or chord progression, which are the accepted benchmarks for copyright claims.
The same groove? Since when is that a crime? Well, get ready for 10,000+ lawsuits on that basis wherein 95% of the songs people here ride for get taken off the market.
