In reply to Casual.

I disagree, I think it will set a precedence that will encourage originality and discourage copying. The producers were not only inspired by Gaye's song, they simply altered it to produce a slightly different sound. I'm glad they did not get away with it. When I first heard "Blurred Lines" I automatically assumed it contained a legally acquired sampling of "Got To Give It Up." The use of the song is obvious. Justice was served in this case.
