A jury has come to a conclusion and found Robin Thicke and Pharrell guilty of copyright infringement for their single Blurred Lines for sounding too similar to Marvin Gaye’s “Got To Give It Up”. The smash apparently made the duo along with T.I. and Interscope Records more than $16 million dollars but will ultimately cost them $7.4 million now.

This is a huge deal considering how often these types of cases come up in the music business. Compare the records in the video below.
