Okay, so first that that pops up is that the children of Marvin Gaye were the ones being sued.

Do you think, say, Gatlin, Gaye and Bailyey trained in a worse environment less conducive to success than Bolt?

Not sure if you're making an attempt at a joke but Gaye has been dead for quite some time now.

From Bob Dylan to Marvin Gaye to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to Sting to U2.

The song did NOT take the progression and melody from the Marvin Gaye song.

The lack of computational methods to abstract and describe the material on either side is particularly bizarre considering the judge's decision to preclude original song material from being played by the Gaye family.

What Blurred Lines took from Marvin Gaye was the drum beat.

But Bridgeport owns the catalog of Gaye and Funkadelic.

Well, maybe Margin Gaye will stop writing songs.

It's also revealed that Williams describes the issue in such a way that makes it sound like he wrote Blurred Lines in an hour while this Marvin Gaye song was playing in the room (just to be clear, for a typical length pop song, writing it in an hour is _remarkably, exceptionally fast_).

The sorry and incoherent state of copyright law in the year 2015: Richard Prince 's version of Fair Use [1] and the other extreme which consists of this song and the Marvin Gaye vs.

Given that Robin Thicke got sued just for writing a song that kind of has a little bit of the same feel as a Marvin Gaye song, I doubt this works.

This example is Marvin Gaye singing "Heard It Through the Grapevine" and the result is quite interesting.

> Marvin Gaye's biographer, David Ritz, sided with Gaye's family, though he said he's uncertain whether from a legal standpoint "Blurred Lines" technically infringes the copyright on Gaye's song.

But then again, Thicke and Williams still had to pay the Gaye estate for " Blurred Lines " being too similar to " Got to Give it Up ".

My circle of friends used to joke about the "Republican Test." You administer it like this: play the song "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," ideally the Marvin Gaye version, and ask the subject to "clap along with the music" however he or she feels.

They had total creative control and they wielded it, as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Prince and others later did.

Could the rights holders of Marvin Gaye's work be sued for copyright infringement of an older, yet still quixotically copyrighted, work?

Justin Bieber and Nicky Manaj vs Sly and The Family Stone and Marvin Gaye.
