“Pharrell said, “The verdict hampers any creator out there who who is making something that might be inspired by something else,” and not just in music: “This applies to fashion, music, design… anything. If we lose our freedom to be inspired, we’re going to look up one day and the entertainment industry as we know it will be frozen in litigation.”” (HNHH)
So if I write a rap song inspired by outKast “bombs over Baghdad ” but I didn’t sample the record…I just rapped on it and used the same energy and rhyme scheme …I should be sued ? #bullshit
But he didn’t sample anything from the original record ???? How was he suppose to source Marvin ?
Nonsense ….that is one of main reason for copy right laws to inspire creativity….you can be inspired by someone and create something unique …history full of examples…all sun had to do wAs give Marvin his credit in by lines and he would have walked away with most of the proceeds from the record

And I love it
You can’t take people music and act like you came up with it. Don’t feel sorry for him after what he said about Mike Brown
Dont forget about me fam,I came down from Youngstown Ohio ,to Atlanta to collaborate wit local artist , put me on,you da plug
Smh is right!!! Now r they going after other people because alot of people sampled his music
I did some research and Marvin Gaye’s catalog only makes about $2 million a year. That $7.4 million got the Gaye family ready to get more!!! Smh
Aye aye aye lol. Wait can i say that or is it copyright infringement lollol
It time to take the mic in the closet and do our hand claps and drum taps
All he had to do was a little paper work and this wouldn’t be an issue
Now t.i. Is being sued for just dropping a verse in the track so can you imagine every label has to research every track that comes in for an artist to see if it has any samples or if it’s similar to anything before the artist can record his verse
They better make their own beats and come up with their own music on the sound table
Jus think bout 90% of the music we came up listening to sampled so list is definitely gonna get longer.
Now they are trying to come after him for ‘Happy’ they are trying to bankrupt him
Originality and creativity is a lost art form everybody started samplin and forgot to be innovators!!
They can pay to sample and still be creative
Good, it will force musicians to be authentic and original.
It might actually help people get back to being more creative n bring bac more originality
