Video: Robin Thicke And Pharrell Williams Reduced Their Plagiarism Fines
In March of this year, Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were brought to trial. The duo was accused of plagiarism, they say, the main motive of their song "Blurred Lines" was the song of the famous singer in the 70s Martina Gaia "Got to Give it Up".
Then the jury listened to the prosecution, experts who evaluated how similar or different the compositions were, and ruled that Farrell and Thicke were guilty. The musicians had to pay compensation in the amount of $ 7.3 million.
Of this amount, $ 4 million is a fine for copyright infringement, and the rest is the profits that Tick and Williams have made from the use of Blurred Lines by global multimedia companies.
“The jury was impressed when the plaintiff's side superimposed the sound of one song on another, and they almost completely coincided in rhythm and musical arrangement,” said Californian radio station KPCC.
Of course, this decision of the jury did not suit the musicians at all and they decided to appeal it. They were denied the annulment of the decision, but this time the judge got a more accommodating one and ruled that instead of 7.3 million, Farrell and Robin would have to pay only 5.3 million, and also deduct half of the future profit for the performance or broadcast to the Gay family. songs.
Whether Farrell and Robin are satisfied with this decision of the Californian court this time is not reported.
