Robin Thicke's mega-hit "Blurred Lines" ripped off Marvin Gaye's own #1 hit "Got to Give It Up" -- that's the ruling that just came down from the jury in downtown L.A.  

Robin and the song's producer Pharrell Wiliams are now on the hook for $7.3 million to Marvin's family because the jury found they infringed on the Gaye copyright for his 1977 hit.​

The jury ruled T.I. -- who raps on 'Blurred' -- was NOT responsible for the copyright infringement. 

As we previously reported ... Marvin Gaye's kids first sued Thicke back in 2013 for allegedly ripping off the song ... which was #1 on Billboard for 12 weeks in 2013.

I was reading its background.  It states that they wanted to make something like gOt To Give it Up and also credited Marvin as a writer on the song?

like Nicki did with Anaconda and Baby Got Back?
