Law Office of Melanie M. Davis

http://www.complex.com//sony-atv-settles-with-marvin-gaye- Speaking of settlement...I knew that this case would settle. Even a deaf person could hear the substantial similarities between the two songs. If you attended a party within the last 6 months, every DJ mixed "Got To Give it Up" with "Blurred Lines"

http://www.rollingstone.com//why-rick-ross-is-suing-lmfao- I believe this suit will settle out of court. LMFAO could argue fair use, which is commenting on, criticizing or parodying a copyrighted work. Their use could fall under parody, but that's up to a jury. Copyright infringement suits are expensive to litigate. However, a lot is at stake, since this song sold 7.5 million copies. Rick Ross could potentially recover 9 cents per song, the statutory rate. It will be interesting to see how this plays out...
