But is this straight up stealing . Heres abcs Rebecca Jarvis. Everybody get up reporter Robin Thickes blurred lines, first controversial for its provocative video is now at the center of a lawsuit over whether the singer and producer ripped off marvin gapes 1977 hit got to give it up. Heard here on soul train. Take a listen for yourself. Hey hey hey reporter thicke was quick to name gay as the inspiration in several interviews, including this one on vh1. We went in the studio and i had mentioned to him that one of my favorite songs was got to give it up. We tried to get a little groove like that going. We really wrote the whole song in about a half an hour. Reporter and marvin gayes family seemed to agree in this interview on et. First thing i thought of was one of my dads songs and i thought it was a remix. But it wasnt. Reporter a law suit was filed against thicke and pharrell. In newly released depositions, thicke claims he was drunk in every interview he gave about the inspiration behind blurred lines. I had a drug and alcohol problem for the year and i didnt do a sober interview. Every day i woke up, ill would take a vicodin to start the day. Responding to the release of the deposition, thickes lawyer telling a b bc news, robins mot of personal veler inability is being exploited in the hope of diverting attention from the obvious weakness of their legal claim. According to pharrells deposition, thicke played almost no part in creating blurred lines. It was 80 completed by the time he showed up to the studio, late. Thank you, guys. Reporter if he could have transported himself there while ill was making the track, you would have something to go on. But he wasnt there, sir. He wasnt there. All this, just the latest salvo in the patel of plaguer richl in pop music. Some of musics greats have been akudzed of stealing. Johnny cashs infamous song cost him 75,000 for borrowing the melody from the lesser known. I hear the train coming its rolling around the bend i aint seen the sunshine since i dont know when reporter john lennon settled out of court for the beatles song come together. Its beat and similar break structure echoed chuck berrys you cant catch me. I bought a brand new something strange in the neighborhood who you gonna call ghostbusters reporter ray parkers gh t ghostbusters theme song, nominated for an oscar, earned him a lawsuit from huey louis for its striking resemblance to i want a new drug. I want a new drug one that does what it should one that wont make me feel too bad one that wont make me feel too good reporter eventually they settled out of court. But the stakes could be even higher for blurred lines. The album following a hit single sold some 175,000 copies in its first week. Sold about three quarters of a million to date. Reporter marvin gayes family stands to win a percentage of those sales. Whatever the outcome, we decided to take the two songs to a professional. New york city music producer and instructor, chris petty. Check it out. This is the original one. And what ive done is, i cued it up to the parts where it started, so reporter marvin gaye. This is the marvin gaye version. And heres what the beginning of blurred lines sounds like. Reporter and this is the heart of the argument. You would have thought it was blurred lines. Reporter but thickes camp says being reminiscence of a sound is not copyright infringement. And pharrell argues similarities in sound are just a coincidence. I see when people say they feel that. I understand that. But the truth of the matter is, silk and rayon are two different things. They just feel the same. Katy perrys hit roar reminded fans of the hit brave. You can be amazing reporter no lawsuit there. And lady gagas born this way echoed madonnas express yourself. Youll go far when youre not there reporter attracting attention, but not legal action from the queen of pop. It feels reduckive. Reporter when you know something is tried and true, its been successful in the past, does that mean its smart to try what ive heard with a lot of the early hip hop producers, taking a song that was popular and giving rebirth to it and everything by bringing it into something modern, but what is it that people are really attracted to with the new song . Reporter which seems impossible to define. Which seems impossible to define, yeah. Youre a good girl reporter the fate of blurred lines is now up to the courts. Pharrell and thicke argue that since the gayes own just the come me situation and not the recording, the judge must decide by only considering the composition and not other elements, like the instruments involved. Marvin days son told et that the lawsuit had one main objective. I want to see my father get credit for his work. Reporter but according to pharrells attorney, marvin gayes family smelled money and rushed to make their infrin infringement demand. Regardless of the legal outcome, this case could have a chilling impact on the already troubled music industry. Everyone is going to think twils twice before they jump on a track that has a marked similarity to another track. The next time someones in a studio and plays a track for a singer that sounds like something else, people are going to stop and say, well i like the way that sounds, is it a little too blurred lines .

But sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. So i was honest with my doctor. I told him id been feeling stuck for a long time. He said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add Abilify Aripiprazole . He said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. I wish id talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone.
