That's a massive settlement and will destroy those well known musicians careers.

I don't really think they sound overly similar, tbh. Just a simple bass line and a bit of shouting - is that it?

enfant terrible

Don't sound similar at all.

Smidge

Listened to the comparison.
Tbf, i'm not hearing a huge comparison between the tunes.
Does this mean in future people wont be able to use high hats when recording a tune as to me, thats the main similarity within the two tracks?

Rayne Wooney

Can't really see any similarity tbh, fairly harsh decision that

eternal

I always thought Pharrell was pretty cool, I wonder what this will do to him.

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.”

Corholio

Listen to the layered sounds, it is quite similar. The court were played the tracks in this way.

Plagiarism infinitum in other words.

Actually it seems Thicke being a bit Thicke admitted to using the song to help create Blurred Lines

What you mean is we are influenced by other people and this happens without us even realising it. Plus you quote without reference hence being plagiarism as was said.

csallmighty

That song and those who made it deserved something bad to happen to them

The opening bars with that nifty little drum beat are the same but the rest, melody etc, is completely different

eternal

The start of both is similar alright. I think the drum kick kinda thing is apparent but not enough to warrant that amount of money. Didn't Marvin Gaye have some serious knashers though?

anncoates

Most people over a certain age - and in possession of a pair of ears - instantly thought of Got To Give It Up the minute they heard that tune.

Used to have a lot of sympathy for samplers when it was more creative but now it's often just big corporate acts purloining riffs with some lame MCing over it.

Given the gazillions of hit songs Pharrell had crafted across multiple genres, I think he'll be good.

Originality is the art of concealing your source.

Dravokivich

I don't see why such a thing has to be made like this. Surely reading the sheet music will answer the dispute?

How many lawyers are pouring over the songs he has written right now with shazaam hoping to find a misidentified track?
