The family went on to reject a six-figure sum from Thicke, compounded by the pop star filing a countersuit to the Gaye family's claim, stating, "Plaintiffs, who have the utmost respect for and admiration of Marvin Gaye, Funkadelic and their musical legacies, reluctantly file this action in the face of multiple adverse claims from alleged successors in interest to those artists. Defendants continue to insist that plaintiffs' massively successful composition, 'Blurred Lines,' copies 'their' compositions."

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Gaye's family has fired back with counterclaims of their own, amended with the added charge that Thicke also hijacked the soul legend's 1976 track, "After the Dance," for "Love After War," the title track to his latest album and its' first single.

The new suit also calls out song publisher EMI April for a host of offenses, including not protecting Gaye's catalog from such breeches, as well as "attempting to intimidate the family against filing any legal action." In return, the suit is looking to relieve EMI from all money generated by "Blurred Lines," as well as rights to "administer" Gaye's song catalog.
