This week’s $7.4 million copyright infringement verdict over the hit song “Blurred Lines” drew a bit of backlash—and not just from Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke. Some said the jury’s verdict would stifle creativity. Others warned it could make every instance of musical inspiration an excuse for a lawsuit.

But there’s at least one person who’s positive the jury got it right: King & Ballow partner Richard Busch, who tried the case for the family of late R&B superstar Marvin Gaye.
