IFWT_Blurred_Lines_Robin_Thicke_Comeback

Just when you thought it was over, the mayhem continues. Another “Blurred Lines” trial could be on the way, at least requested. Robin Thicke and Pharrell, along with their attorneys, have decided to take their anger back to the courtroom. The judge’s previous decision to call their “Blurred Lines” collaboration, infringement of Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give it Up” is not sitting too well with them.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the there were flaws included in every part of their trial, including jury instructions, improper testimony from a musicologist – a testimony that Thicke and Pharrell says was “prejudicial and irrelevant” – as well as lack of evidence to support a finding that the two songs were substantially similar.

Skateboard P and Thicke are making claims that the jury made their decision against them off of the Thicke’s testimony on his inspiration. In addition to what’s listed on the new trial request, the two site musicologist, Judith Finell. Apparently, Finell’s testimony was unnecessary since the pre-trial judge’s decision fell on the physical copy of sheet music from Gaye’s 1977 track.

March’s end, Gaye’s children had written an open letter on the matter as well as filed a motion to add T.I. – also on the “Blurred Lines” record – to the $7.4 million ruling. Of course, T.I. pretty much was like; nah.
