"Blurred Lines" which was the biggest hit of 2013 made a staggering $16million for Pharrell, Thicke, rapper T.I. and the record company, though T.I. and various record and music companies had previously been cleared of copyright infringement charges.
The jury decided that the family should receive $4million in damages and $3.4 million in profits from the song, with Thicke forced to pay $1.7million from his own pocket and Pharrell $1.6million.
Although both are credited as its songwriters, Williams wrote the song in about an hour in 2012, and the pair recorded it in one night.'
