infringed on the copyright of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give It Up”

Verdict in `Blurred Lines’ Case Upheld by Appeals Court

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena largely affirmed the $5.3 million verdict that determined that Thicke and Williams lifted key elements of Gaye’s 1977 disco hit. The panel cleared rapper T.I., who lends a rap segment to the hit, and Interscope Records, which issued the single.
