Marvin Gaye’s Family Aiming for T.I. + Wants to Prevent Robin Thicke From Performing ‘Blurred Lines’

What’s more? Apparently, rapper T.I. (real name Clifford Joseph Harris Jr) may not be off the hook. Originally, he was not included in the song. Gaye’s family also sought to amend the verdict to include T.I., as well as labels Universal Music, Interscope Records and Star Trak Entertainment.

According to the Associated Press, the injunction against may give Gaye’s family leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions, such as songwriting credits. The family said in a statement:

With the digital age upon us, the threat of greater infringement looms for every artist. It is our wish that our dad’s legacy, and all great music, past, present, and future, be enjoyed and protected, with the knowledge that adhering to copyright standards assures our musical treasures will always be valued.

To date, Thicke nor Pharrell have yet to comment publicly. [Sidebar: we spotted rapper T.I. in Los Angeles, at a private screening for ‘Get Hard’, sponsored by Russell Simmons’ All Def Digital.]
