"Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams owe Marvin Gaye�s family $7.4 million for �Blurred Lines,� jury decides."

"The trial was notable primarily because it�s unusual that these battles to go to public.... But this case was messy from the beginning. In August 2013, Thicke, Williams and T.I. filed a preemptive suit claiming no infringement."

Then, after Gaye�s family sued them, Thicke made headlines last year when his deposition leaked with his shocking, embarrassing defense: The singer claimed he was �high on Vicodin and alcohol� during the writing process.

As for all those interviews where he boasted about helping write it and how he was specifically inspired by Gaye�s �Got to Give It Up�? Well, he was lying, Thicke said, and just envious that Williams, also the producer of the song, would get all the glory.
