Quite literally this is what it came down to. The songs differ in most aspects other than a general groove which was just how a lot of songs sounded back in Marvin Gaye's day. And the jury, full of people who could not clap on the 2 and 4 allowed this decision and ruled in their favour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziz9HW2ZmmY The implications of this are fucking nuts to be honest. Like, entire genres could be called into question because they now have a precedent to sue each other for big bucks. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:948094424] in Pharrell g...

Imagine for example that Jimi Hendrix's surviving family members decided that the next John Mayer blues song had the same general feeeeel... You know, because it's a slow 12 bar blues with a guitar solo --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:948094513] in Pharrell g...
