Attorneys for pop star Robin Thicke and his co-collaborators on the song "Blurred Lines" last week filed a preemptive lawsuit asking a judge to determine that the ‘song of the summer’ doesn't infringe the copyrights of Marvin Gaye song “Got to Give It Up” and George Clinton song “Sexy Ways.” So reports the New York Daily News.
The owners of the copyrights for those songs have warned Thicke that he and his collaborators have used elements of the songs in “Blurred Lines.” Thicke's suit argues that “being reminiscent of a ‘sound’ is not copyright infringement. The intent in producing ‘Blurred Lines’ was to evoke an era.”
