Answer:

Music Infringement: The well known musicians, Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke, were involved in an extended copyright dispute with the estate of Marvin Gaye for similarities between the Williams-Thicke hit, “Blurred Lines”, and Gaye’s earlier hit, “Got to Give It Up”. The courts found that the two tunes were similar enough that the more recent piece of music did, in fact, constitute copyright infringement against Gaye's earlier work.
