Ägaren till Peanuts-musik stämmer för Charlie Brown-julsånger

Svenska

Ägaren till musiken från Peanuts-franchisen lämnade den 20 maj in fyra upphovsrättsstämningar med anklagelser om otillåten användning av Vince Guaraldis kompositioner från A Charlie Brown Christmas och andra specialavsnitt.

Lee Mendelson Film Productions anklagar GameMill Entertainment för att ha skapat olicensierade låtar som härmade Guaraldis spår för tv-spelet Snoopy & The Great Mystery Club. Företaget stämde även det amerikanska inrikesdepartementet för att ha använt låten O Tannenbaum i ett digitalt julkort som publicerats på sociala medier utan tillstånd. Två ytterligare stämningar riktas mot tillverkarna av samlarobjekt, Buckle-Down Inc. och Heritage Auctions, för att ha använt spåret Linus and Lucy i reklamannonser.

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.
