As you know, the Gaye family has just won the Blurred Lines case over Thicke and Pharrell. What do you make of this? Personally, I think this is one of the worst copyright case verdicts in decades. I hope the guys will appeal and the decision will be overturned. As usual, the real winners are and will always be THE LAWYERS

let's think about it like this

we know there have been remakes of classic songs done over the years where in allot of cases, the remake version is better than the original version.....

nothing wrong or detrimental about doing remakes if your'e able to do it justice

but what if a stipulation came out tomorrow saying sampling was no longer allowed

or let's say, it won't be allowed for a year's time......where would the music industry find itself today

could it survive w/out sampling?...that's the issue

I believe Marvin Gaye felt more satisfaction and assurance of his talent creating Got To Give It Up than Thicke/Pharrell did in making Blurred Lines......

I agree with your view on this issue, but you should just use the existing thread. Starting new threads not only floods the forum, but it also splits the discussions into different threads and trying to have a conversation on the case will become difficult if you have to constantly keep checking out what people have written to different threads.
