'Blurred Lines' Verdict: Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams to Pay $7.4 Million

Jurors in the high-profile trial deliberated for two days before ruling in favor of Marvin Gaye's family.

A spokesperson for Pharrell Williams called Tuesday’s verdict a “horrible precedent for music and creativity.”

While we respect the judicial process, we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward. Blurred Lines was created from the heart and minds of Pharrell, Robin and T.I. and not taken from anyone or anywhere else.

The "Blurred Lines" copyright infringement trial has finally come to an end after two weeks in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Author's summary: Thicke and Williams to pay $7.4 million.
