Pharrell Williams Is A Chronic Copyright Thief But Is Protesting $7,500,000 ‘Blurred Lines’ Verdict Obtained By Marvin Gaye Estate


Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell Williams

Madonna's producer, Pharrell Williams, a known music industry copyright thief and member of the Kabbalah Center, which experts have labeled a cult, was sued recently for stealing the music, not lyrics, for the song "Blurred Lines" by co-writer/singer Robyn Thicke. They even went so far as to arrogantly sue the estate of the late Marvin Gaye, for a judicial decision stating they did not steal the song, which was rejected by the court.

Gaye's estate later sued them in a legal action and won a judgment of $7,300,000 against Williams and Thicke. The estate is now seeking to sue rapper TI, who illegally profited from the thefts of copyright.

Prior to the Gaye estate filing suit, many notable musicians slammed Williams and company for their theft and arrogance to the point, the offenders began begging the Gaye estate to settle the case, due to the bad publicity. In actuality, they are grave robbers. There are certain people in the entertainment industry such as Pharrell Williams, Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, John Mayer, the Dream and Jay Z, among others, who routinely pillage and plunder the catalogs of deceased artists, believing no one will figure out what they have done. That is until the surviving heirs of the deceased artists hear their family members works in new songs, used without permission or payment to them.

The fact Gaye is a music legend is the only reason the case made it to trial. Copyright cases are routinely thrown out of U.S. courts under corrupt circumstances, such as judges being bribed with stocks, cash and other items of value secretly passed to them or family members. I have seen this with my own eyes, in matters law firms have contacted me about, after facing similar corruption at certain judges' hands.

Williams wants the public to believe the “Blurred Lines” case is a one off incident that was accidental but it is not. Williams is a chronic copyright thief, who has been sued a number of times for stealing preexisting music. Williams is known in intellectual property law offices around America and the world for being a copyright thief.

One of his most disgraceful acts of copyright infringement, conversion, fraud and exploitation, occurred when he stole dozens of copyrighted beats belonging to a then 18-year-old internet musician, Joseph Zuckoni. Williams, like many copyright thieves, scours the internet for items to steal from lesser known or unknown artists, songwriters, producers and other creative talent.

Williams came across Zuckoni work when the unknown posted excerpts of some of his beats on the singer/producer’s message board. Williams’ fans on his site knew of Zuckoni from Williams internet forum. Williams heard and liked the beats Zuckoni posted online. It caught Williams attention and he contacted Zuckoni. Williams lied to the young man and promised to make him a member of his production outfit The Neptunes. Williams told him to bring all the beats he had made to him in a New York recording studio, sending him a ticket.

Zuckoni, not realizing at the time that terrible thieves and vultures exist in Hollywood, followed Williams’ instructions. However, Williams was conning him. Williams took the CD-ROM discs with over three dozen beats Zuckoni had made, then told him he would contact him soon about being the newest member of the Neptunes production team. The next thing Zuckoni knew, Williams took his beats, illegally re-copyrighted them in his name and sold each beat for $250,000 to various recording artists, such as fellow thief, Jay Z, pocketing millions in ill-gotten wealth, in criminal violation of the law.

Zuckoni exposed Williams online, retained a lawyer and sued in court. Other cases have been filed against Williams for copyright theft such as this one. Williams has also stolen lyrics from me for work he did with Madonna (take a look at some of fake Madonna's many thefts of other artists preexisting copyrighted works). Madonna illegally obtained a copy of my vast, preexisting, Library of Congress registered intellectual property catalog, via hacking traced back to the staff of Madonna.com. The lyrics, not the music for the song "Blurred Lines" are also illegally taken from a copyrighted song I registered

10-YEARS AGO called "Blurred Lines" that Pharrell gained illegal access to via working with Madonna.
Williams is a fake and fraud. It's almost comical that he is sitting up on the set of the show "The Voice" dispensing music advice to aspiring singers, when he is nothing but a copyright stealing criminal, who does not belong in the entertainment industry. He never should have been famous, as he stole other people's property to become rich and famous, in criminal violation of the U.S. Code and United Nations laws.

Congress Reintroduces Songwriters Equity Act Legislation But Will It Stem The Wave Of Copyright Infringement In Hollywood


Copyright thieves Pharrell Williams and Madonna

Congress has reintroduced legislation called "The Songwriters Equity Act Of 2014" for legislative review, aimed at providing proper rights and royalties to songwriters in America. As it stands, many songwriters in America or who have had material released in America voluntarily or involuntarily via copyright infringement by Hollywood,  are being cheated out of the royalties/money due.

Let’s face it, the U.S. court system does not work. I've covered enough civil and criminal cases on this site to realize to come to this conclusion. Not to mention the terrible injustices the whole world witnessed via the Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown and Eric Garner criminal cases. No copyright case filed by anyone other than a music legend has made it to trial in America. Hollywood routines bribes judges to throw out copyright infringement cases, for fear juries will see the truth and hit them with multi-million dollar verdicts.

Copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement is a way of life and business in Hollywood. Much of what you watch on TV and hear on the radio and internet contains copyright infringement. The reason this is happening is because Hollywood is run by organized crime, who want to maintain a stranglehold on the industry.

America has thousands upon thousands of talented indie and lesser known singers, songwriters, musicians and producers, capable of producing great, meaningful music. However, due to the fact certain criminals in Hollywood want to continue their fraudulent reign, they have set up Hollywood in such a way that if you want to be in the entertainment industry you have to deal with them and sign over the majority of your rights or be subject to theft and unrelenting criminal attacks.

As these individuals determined to run Hollywood are not talented, they rely on stealing preexisting copyrighted music, films, videos and other intellectual property they see and hear online or receive in the mail as submissions, to maintain their stranglehold on the industry. This creates a terrible lack of variety, limiting the public's buying choices to the same mainstream artists.

Indie and lesser known artists spend months and years writing songs, paying to have them recorded in smaller studios, then released and not for greedy, fame obsessed mainstream stars, such as the frequently sued Jay Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and Madonna, to steal them in minutes, illegally taking money and credit for it all over the world.

Congress is slacking on the issue of copyrights. People should not be able to so easily just steal others’ copyrighted intellectual property and present it to the world as their own for undue enrichment and ill-gotten financial gain. If the victim(s) complain, they are subjected to threats, harassment, insane fans being encouraged to attack them on social networking, placed articles of a defamatory nature and rude, bribe taking judges throwing up every roadblock on trying to thwart and destroy one's legal rights.

The government is greatly to blame for the lows the entertainment industry has fallen to, as none of this should have been allowed, not for one minute. However, due to campaign donations from stars, the legislature and White House looked the other way, to what has become a publicly embarrassing problem that has greatly damaged the judicial system's name in America and the world.


Chronic copyright thief Kanye West

Congress allowed thieves like Madonna, among others, to bring the judiciary's name into domestic and international disrepute and for what? So a set of lazy idiot stars, who should not be famous in the first place as they've stolen all their material, can illegally enrich themselves, disgraceful and dishonorably taking money and awards for other people's property they stole.

As stated in past columns, many law firms are forgoing suing in America for copyright infringement, branding the judicial system hopelessly corrupt, due to the bribery Hollywood has been engaging in. These idiot stars are not worth the judiciary's name. America is full of talent waiting to be discovered and recorded. Those are the people who should be in the entertainment industry, not a bunch of greedy, fame obsessed stars trying to steal everything they can get their hands on to maintain fraudulent careers that were never meant to be.


Chronic copyright thieves Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell
 
It amazes me sometimes when certain thieving stars sleep their way into record deals or obtain it through other questionable means, then steal copyrights left, right and center to become famous, then go on stage and thank God for winning an award, because they believe it will give them a good image in America, a nation that is largely Christian. 

God has no part in your career. God is not a thief, fraud, criminal or a liar - you are. Your actions are the equivalent of someone robbing a bank and saying thank you to God for the money that does not and will never belong to them, as it was illegally taken from someone else in acts forbidden by law.

Pharrell Williams Steals More Copyrights

Pharell Williams spending the ill-gotten proceeds of his financial crimes

Phony, so-called writer/producer, Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes, has been sued for the umpteenth time in the umpteenth copyright infringement case brought against him. Many songwriters and artists, have publicly complained and denounced Pharell for willfully stealing their preexisting copyrighted music. He is one of the entertainment industry's most notorious thieves.

The latest lawsuit against him appears quite credible. The band, Geggy Tah, put out a song in 1996 titled "Whoever You Are" which Pharrell stole over a decade LATER in 2007, for the Clipse rap tune "Feel Like Me."

I listened to the two songs back to back and it is a dead rip off. The guitar and drum lines are very similar, constituting an infringement.

The melodies and lyrics, especially the line "All I wanna do" and the manner in which it is sung and repeated throughout the song, is an infringement that is a duplication.

There is a substantial amount stolen from the 1996 preexisting copyright, via pilfered music, melody and lyrics, for the 2007 rip off by Pharrell and co.

Previously, Pharrell was sued for ripping off Canadian teenager, Joseph Zuckoni, even flying him to New York, as a ruse, to get more beats out of him, which Williams and his producing partner sold to artists in Hollywood for $250,000 each, not paying the young man a dime.

Pharell kept lying to Zuckoni, telling him he would make him a production partner, to induce the teenager to bring him several new CD-ROMs full of beats he'd made, which Pharell illegally took payment and writer's credit for, to the tune of several million dollars.

There are several other cases against Pharell, by different artists, regarding this very same pattern of criminal misconduct and financial fraud.

You're not a real writer or producer, Pharrell. You are a lawbreaking, fraud committing thief that needs to retire. You've done this too many times now. Your name is gone.

Man Claims His Beat Nicked by Pharrell

Posted Jul 16th 2009 12:25PM by TMZ Staff - Ever heard of the band Geggy Tah? We hadn't either until one of its band members just accused Pharrell of some serious musical thievery.

In a federal lawsuit filed this week, Thomas Jordan claims the Pharrell produced track "All I Wanna Do (Feel Like Me)" is a total rip-off of the Geggy's '96 tune "Whoever You Are."

The suit alleges Pharrell produced "Feel" for the rap group The Clipse -- made up of Malice and Pusha T -- back in '97 ... but the song wasn't released until 2007.

Check out the two songs -- "Whoever You Are" and "Feel Like Me" -- and judge for yourself.
