10. "I view the Thicke song and the Marvin Gaye song to be" In response to In response to 7
similar enough to say that this legal action is more than reasonable... I don't see this at all as some abstract similarity where someone is just trying to cash it....
on a basic level the songs sound the same....almost sampled...
and lets remember that Thicke and thems side initiated a legal action...kind of rang like a guilty person being initially extra defensive thinking they would have the edge because they would have access to higher priced lawyers.....
it didn't work out for them..
but again..
add a little more creativity to what you do.... the "making beats" mentality in R&B at some point is always going to risk copying or redo-ing previous tracks because you're not dealing with production coming mostly from composed music played by multiple musicians..along with those musicians individual musicianship....
