Marvin Gaye's family is on a legal rampage, and they now have their sights set on T.I. and Universal Music Group. According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Gaye's family filed new motions on Tuesday night to include Tip, UMG, Interscope, and Pharrell'sStar Trak Entertainment on the list of infringers in the "Blurred Lines" case that has already netted the family $7.4 million.
The Gaye's family attorney, Richard Busch, maintains that there is no separation between those who created the actual song, and those who distributed it. Thus, in the post-trial proceedings the label's could also be found liable, and that could mean more money for the Gaye family in the end. Since the ruling originally was announced, Pharrell and Robin Thicke stated they planned to appeal the case, while Gaye's family claimed that they also think Pharrell's song "Happy" sounds too much like Marvin's "Ain't That Peculiar." Safe to say that this is going to get messy as ? .
