Much has been written about the win by the Marvin Gaye family in the 'Blurred Lines' copyright case, and whether the result protects original authorship or rather chills creative freedom.
, the once seemingly finished lawsuit now explores what was said inside and outside a courtroom.
Gaye's family is shooting to recover millions of dollars in attorney fees spent in the old case upon Williams telling Rick Rubin during a interview that he "reverse engineers" the feeling he gets from listening to music and that he "did that in ‘Blurred Lines’ and got myself in trouble."No, argues Williams' attorneys in a court brief filed Friday.
"In his interview, Williams said that in his creative process, he often 'reverse engineers' a song to 'figure out where the emotional mechanism is in there' — but he never said that he 'reverse engineered' 'Got to Give it Up' to compose 'Blurred Lines,' or that he entered the studio with the intent to make a song that sounds or feels like Marvin Gaye," states the brief.
In an effort to avoid repercussions, Williams is doing more than inferring any ambiguity in his statement in his favor and denying any intent to mislead. The opposition brief tells a judge that the Gayes' demand to reconsider attorney fees in light of a "fraud on the court" comes too late and is "actually old news" given that his prior press statements were made a "focal point" at trial.
