Blurred Lines and The Anxiety of Influence

We invite you onto our Juke Box Jury to decide when one song steals from another. The music world is at odds over the latest copyright case which brought victory to the family of the late Marvin Gaye. Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke have been ordered to pay out millions to Gaye's estate for lifting parts of "Got To Give It Up" to create a hit of their own. The judgement's been criticised by Guy Chambers who co-wrote Angels, one of the biggest hits of the last twenty years - and Tom Robinson who's behind "2468 Motorway" and "Glad to be Gay." We invited them to tell us how to compose an original song without being influenced by somebody else's. But first we asked them what they made of the Pharrell Williams case, starting with Tom Robinson. #Marvingate
