The blurred line between creative risk and musical rip-off
Clip: 3/11/2015 | 5m 31s
Kory Grow of Rolling Stone explains how a court decision could affect the music industry.
The song “Blurred Lines” was one of the biggest hits of 2013, but a jury has decided that some of that success is thanks to Marvin Gaye’s “Got to Give it Up.” Gaye’s children were awarded $7.3 million after they sued the songwriters for liberally lifting from the 1977 song. Gwen Ifill talks to Kory Grow of Rolling Stone about how the decision could affect the music industry.
