What's it like to win a copyright case against Oasis?

It will have taken some talent to have missed out on the hit song of 2011, "Blurred Lines", performed by Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams.

At the time, it gained as much attention for its catchy beat as it did for its raunchy lyrics and controversial video featuring scantily clad women, wearing little more than a coating of red lipstick.

For some the song may have blurred the lines of decency, but fast forward to 2015 and jurors in Los Angeles have decided that the single also blurred the lines of copyright - namely the copyright of Marvin Gaye's 1977 hit "Got To Give It Up".

The family of the late soul singer has been awarded $7.3m in damages. But what does it feel like to have your musical creation stolen? And how blurry are the lines of musical copyright?

One man who knows is comic song writer and performer Neil Innes. He has collaborated with the likes of the Beatles and Monty Python to name but a few.

In the 90's, his publisher noticed a similarity between Innes' 1973 hit "How Sweet to be an Idiot", and Oasis's song "Whatever".

The publisher successfully sued the band for 25% of the song's royalties.

The BBC's Sarah Stolarz asked Neil Innes how he came to find out his song had been copied.
