The Blurred Lines Copyright Verdict is Bad News for Music

SUMMARY:

Marvin Gaye family reported the song of Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke Blurred Lines that is a copy of Got to give it up.

First of all, the Gaye’s family didn’t think that Blurred Lines song was a copy of Got to give it up. The family’s lawyer made the first move and the Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke defended this song saying that they only took a feeling and if the songs are similar is because they’re in the same genre.

After some trials, the judge found that Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke had to pay 7 million dollars.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion and after searching and listening the two songs I think that are too different and I won’t say that they copy the Gaye’s song. And the fine that they had to pay was too high from the similarity of the songs.

A SOULMATE AT THIS POINT

A soulmate has a lot of different definitions that are correct. It is possible to talk about a soulmate of friendship, about a brother soulmate... but I want to talk about a soulmate of a relationship.

First of all I want to say that I am an extroverted boy, happy, active... and my soulmate has to have these characteristics and others that are more important for me, for example: she has to be an attentive girl, she has to worry about how I feel, and she has to be responsible because sometimes I lose the way to take.

Secondly I want to describe the appearance of my soulmate, but this is difficult to describe because my point of view about the physic of a girl changes too fast. Actually I prefer blonde girls, taller than smaller, slimmer than thinner or fatter.

In conclusion, my soulmate has to be extroverted, happy, active, attentive, worried and responsible. She may be blonde and have the perfect body but this is not essential.
