Robin Thicke’s monster hit Blurred Lines has made a profit of more than $16 million since it became the biggest song of 2013, an L.A. court heard on Tuesday.
The song, also created to Pharrell Williams and T.I., is currently at the center of a legal battle over copyright infringement and the song’s alleged similarity to Marvin Gaye’s 1977 funk/disco classic Got To Give It Up.
The financial profitability of a song is typically a highly guarded secret and tends only to be revealed when the track is at the center of a $40 million lawsuit.
According to the federal copyright trial, the two sides have agreed on an exact figure of $16,675,690. That was divided with $5,658,214 going to Thicke, $5,153,457 to Williams, $704,774 to rapper T.I. and record companies pocketing the remainder.
During opening arguments in the case, Richard Busch, the attorney representing Marvin Gaye's children Frankie and Nona Gaye had tallied the alleged damages at approximately $40 million.
