Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were just ordered to pay $7.4 million to Marvin Gaye's children. So the question is it musical plagiarism? And even better, is a jury of 12 random people qualified to judge?
Tom Petty and Sam Smith came to an amicable arrangement without the use of the courts, Petty calling it a musical accident.
Although a judge ruled that it was subconscious plagiarism on George Harrison's part, it still wound up costing him $587,000
With Ghostbusters Roy Parker Jr. settled out of court with Huey Lewis for a confidential sum.
So what do you think?
