Sales Of “Blurred Lines” May Temporarily Be Halted

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If you don’t already have a copy of the song “Blurred Lines,” soon you might not be able to buy it. Marvin Gaye’s family has filed an injunction in court to prevent the copying, distributing and performing of the song. Gaye’s family won a $7.4 million verdict against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams, claiming it copied Gaye’s song “Got To Give It Up.” Meanwhile, Williams has spoken for the first time since the verdict was handed down. He tells The Financial Times the verdict handicaps anyone who might be inspired by something else, whether it’s music, fashion or design. He says the entertainment industry could be “frozen in litigation.”
