“The verdict handicaps any creator out there who is making something that might be inspired by something else...this applies to fashion, music, design… anything. If we lose our freedom to be inspired, we’re going to look up one day and the entertainment industry as we know it will be frozen in litigation. This is about protecting the intellectual rights of people who have ideas.”
“Everything that’s around you in a room was inspired by something or someone,” he added. “If you kill that, there’s no creativity.”
is anyone else obsessed with the current Marvin Gaye's fam vs Pharrell trial????
for me this is like the past that ppl thought was no longer around to judge them finally striking out against the tide of retro bullshit that's been flooding out of the creative industries for years and years now. and it's great.
i think that last line about it "killing creativity" is really telling - creation in some respect is always supposed to be about making something out of nothing, surely? thus, hopefully, thrusting us ever further on into a limitless future of infinite creative possibility...?
not fucking "uptown funk"...??!?
p.s. blurred lines was fucking gobshite too. the moment that someone dropped it at Brixton Splash last year was a definite low point for me of my time spent going slowly deaf in front of loud soundsystems.....AND everyone loved it.
