Good News for Robin, Katy & One Direction: Music Copyright Expert Says Nobody's Ripping Off Anybody

Hey music fans: it's time to stop accusing artists of ripping off other artists. Because according to an expert in music copyright law, nobody really has a case.Exhibit #1: Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." Robin and his co-writers just went to court to to establish that "Blurred Lines" doesn't rip off two particular songs: Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up. Pt.1" and "Sexy Ways," by the group Funkadelic. But let's say Robin was to get sued anyway. Would he lose? Music copyright law professor Dr. E. Michael Harrington says no.
