Marvin Gaye 's family have filed an injunction in court on Tuesday that could end the sale and distribution of 'Blurred Lines ' - the wildly successful song that they claim was ripped off of the 1977 hit 'Got to Give it Up . ' The injunction by Nona Gaye , Frankie Gaye and Marvin Gaye III would prevent the copying , distributing and performing of the hit single featuring Robin Thicke , Pharrell Williams , and T.I . Williams and Thicke were ordered to pay nearly $ 7.4million to the three children after a jury determined last week that Blurred Lines copied elements of Gaye 's song . Scroll down for video .

The family said in a statement released Wednesday : 'With the digital age upon us , the threat of greater infringement looms for every artist . 'It is our wish that our dad 's legacy , and all great music , past , present , and future , be enjoyed and protected , with the knowledge that adhering to copyright standards assures our musical treasures will always be valued . ' The children claim the lawsuit could have been avoided if Thicke and Williams had spoken with the family before the song was released , The Wrap reported . The family said : 'Like most artists , they could have licensed and secured the song for appropriate usage . 'This did not happen . 'We would have welcomed a conversation with them before the release of their work . 'This also did not happen . ' Blurred Lines was the biggest hit of 2013 . It sold more than seven million tracks in the United States , topped the pop charts for months and earned two Grammy Award nominations .
