'Blurred Lines' Song Trial News, Update: Jury Hears Closing Statement in Copyright Infringement Case

The "Blurred Lines" trial is coming to a close this week as the 8-member jury heard closing statements from both sides on Thursday. As it stands, the trial has now entered jury deliberation.

Singers Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and rapper T.I were ordered to appear in court after infringement claims from Marvin Gaye's children came about. The children said that the three had copied straight from the soul singer's 1977 hit song "Got to Give It Up." If the jury agrees with the children the three musicians and the record companies could face $25 million in damages, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Richard Busch, the Gaye's lawyer presented his closing statement to the jury saying that trial at hand was about honesty. "It boils down to this: Who do you believe? Are you going to believe Robin Thicke, who told us all he's not an honest person?"

Throughout this trial all three musicians have supposedly changed their stories as to how they got their inspiration for "Blurred Lines."

According to NBC News, lead attorney for Thicke, Williams and T.I Howard King said the verdict in favor for the Gaye family "would stifle artists and inhibit musicians trying to recreate an era or genre of music." Williams, in the trial, has said that this was his intent with the song in the first place.

Before the trial started, John A. Kronstadt, the U.S. District Judge presiding over the case, told jurors that their decision should be based on Gaye's sheet music for "Got to Give It Up" and not how it is portrayed on the singer's recording.

"Blurred Lines" was the biggest song of 2013 and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Thicke and Williams received $5 million each for the song, not to mention the countless millions the recording studios made as well.

On that note, the case is scheduled to close within the week or two.
