Peanuts music owner files lawsuits over charlie brown christmas songs

Filipino

The owner of music from the Peanuts franchise filed four copyright lawsuits on May 20 alleging unauthorized uses of Vince Guaraldi's compositions from A Charlie Brown Christmas and other specials.

Lee Mendelson Film Productions accused GameMill Entertainment of creating unlicensed songs that mimicked Guaraldi’s tracks for the video game Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club. The company also sued the U.S. Department of the Interior for using the song O Tannenbaum in a digital holiday card posted on social media without permission. Two additional suits target collectibles makers Buckle-Down Inc. and Heritage Auctions for using the track Linus and Lucy in promotional ads.

The 18th Civil Chamber of the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice annulled a sentence that had extinguished the lawsuit filed by Ricardo Garcia and Kiko Freitas against Seu Jorge, ordering the continuation of the action for improper appropriation of musical composition credits. The dispute involves hits like the song 'Carolina', inspired by lawyer Carolina Corrêa, who never had a romantic relationship with the singer. The plaintiffs claim the songs were created in partnership in Brasília in the early 2000s but released under Seu Jorge's name without proper attribution.
