There's nothing blurred about this. Robin Thicke's career and reputation has taken another hard hit as a judge has ordered him and music producer Pharrell Williams to pay Marvin Gaye's family $7 million for copyright infringement.

According to reports on Wednesday, a Los Angeles jury found that Thicke's 2013 hit song Blurred Lines infringed upon the copyright for Marvin Gaye's 1977 hit Got To Give It Up.

The Gaye family's attorney, Richard Busch, told reporters that he has filed an injunction to stop the sale of Blurred Lines.

Thicke's attorney Howard King expressed his disappointment in the ruling, telling reporters outside the courtroom, "Of course, we're disappointed. Nothing detracts from the fact as we know it that the track 'Blurred Lines' came from the heart and soul of Pharrell Williams."

At first, Thicke, Williams and T.I. sued the Gaye family late last summer after members complained about similarities between Blurred Lines and Got to Give It Up. According to NBC News, the Gayes countersued, claiming not only that Thicke ripped off Got to Give It Up but that he infringed on the copyright to After the Dance for the title track of his 2011 album Love After War.

While Thicke himself hasn't made any comments about the lawsuit, Williams did say that Marvin Gaye was "one of the ones we look up to," and that the courtroom "was the last place" he wanted to be.
