Now we need tangible proof? Now somebody speculating on the internet is unacceptable?

When Robin Thicke was attacked for penning a "date-rape anthem" were you the voice of reason in that conversation encouraging people to actually look up the lyrics and act like adults?

Yeah, I'm looking for a reason this verdict came out because the case for actual copyright infringement is really weak. http://flavorwire.com/508795/heres-why-the-blurred-lines-cop...

Related, do you think the public perception of 2 Live Crew had nothing to do with them losing their case and having to go all the way to the Supreme Court[0]? Justice isn't blind, the law generally doesn't favor pariahs and social outcasts. All it would take to turn the jury against Thicke would be one or two jurors who halfway through the trial remembered it's "that date-rapey song". I don't think that's very far-fetched.

I have no idea what the judge's personal politics are beyond knowing that Obama appointed him which means he probably leans left. Overall it's been a pretty weird case[1].
