As I have previously discussed, Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams have brought a lawsuit seeking declaratory judgment against the family of Marvin Gaye that their song Blurred Lines did not infringe on the family’s rights to Gaye’s Got to Give It Up. The California district court denied Thicke and Williams’ summary judgment motion on Thursday, finding that the Gaye Family has enough of a case to move forward. This is expected to be an exciting case, as already shown by Thicke’s confessions of drug use and public lies in his deposition.
