Blurred Lines

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams to pay $5m in final verdict

The ruling concludes a legal battle that began in 2013, when Marvin Gaye's family claimed Blurred Lines copied Gaye's 1977 hit Got to Give It Up.

Gaye's family initially won the case in 2015, but Thicke and Williams appealed.

A California court upheld the verdict in March this year, and the new amended judgement confirms the settlement.

Thicke, Williams and Williams' publishing company More Water From Nazareth are jointly required to pay Gaye's family damages of $2.8m (£2.2m).

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams appeal against Blurred Lines copyright ruling

In March 2015, a judge initially ordered the pair to pay the Marvin Gaye's family more than $7m (£5.3m) in damages for copyright infringement.

The family was also awarded a 50% interest in royalties from Blurred Lines, the biggest single of 2013.

The pair's lawyers are now seeking to appeal against the ruling.

They say the case should never have gone to trial and that the verdict should be overturned, or a new trial ordered.
