Robin Thicke; along with his wife, actress Paula Patton, who allegedly team up with Robin Thicke to work on “Love After War,” and recording artist Pharrell Williams, and Clifford Harris, Jr. (TI). And Sony/ATV Music, and Interscope Records, Universal Music Group Recordings, and EMI, manager of Gaye’s music copyrights, all went named in the “Copyright Infringement” lawsuit issued in August by the children of the Late, Marvin Gaye!
In August, Gaye’s family said publicly that Thicke and Williams infringed on Gaye’s 1977 hit song “Got to Give it Up” with the song “Blurred Lines.” In response to the allegations in the Gaye family suit, Thicke, Williams, and Harris returned a counter-claim to authenticate that “Blurred Lines” did not “infringe” on Gaye’s song “Got to Give it Up.”
However, Gaye’s three children, Nona Gaye, Frankie Gaye, and Marvin Gaye III, pointed out in their suit interviews that Thicke gave to magazines, where he discloses that when constructing “Blurred Lines” he drew on Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give it Up.”
Further, Marvin Gaye’s children added in their suit that Thicke’s song “Love After War” infringes upon the copyrights of their father’s 1976 song “After the Dance.”
The blurred lines here then are a cross between whom inspires us and how much of the inspiration we take or borrow from the role models, for our own gain, without that role model’s written permission! It is a very fine line, indeed, but then there are Laws that draw a clear line in the sand and make it known when and that “copyright infringement” is a huge no, no!
If this is so, that the song “Blurred Lines,” —that gained global accolades and the U.S. ranked the pop song as this summer’s best hit, with MTV’s Music Awards, highlighting Miley Cyrus’ kinky performance, —violated copyright laws then such “Blurred Lines” got its “Top Charts Ratings” on the tailcoats of Marvin Gaye’s music!
Copyright Infringement is a very costly crime!
If found guilty, each infringement carries the weight of $150,000 in damages against every party named in the suit, with the additional right for the Gaye family to have a portion of the recurring profits gained from the triumph of the two songs “Love After War” and “Blurred Lines.”
EMI, who manages Gaye’s music copyrights, allegedly violated trust agreements and committed breach of contract, according to the Gaye children.
Let’s hope for both sides that this legal mess is but a bad dream they will each wake-up from, and that no one, with any brains in the skull, sets out from here to infringe upon the copyrights of hard-working artists! As surely, neither Robin Thicke nor anyone entangled in the present lawsuit, nor you or I, would like it if we were in the shoes of the Late, Marvin Gaye’s family.
Listen to the two songs and you be the judge of it:
Got to Give it Up – Marvin Gaye
VS
Blurred Lines – Robin Thicke

Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
