Tim Maia’s son explains lawsuit against Corinthians: ‘Nothing against Corinthians or fans’

After publishing the news that the family of Tim Maia won lawsuit against Corinthians for misuse of “I don’t want money (I just want to love)” in advertising campaign, Carmelo Maiason of the legendary Brazilian singer, explained the lawsuit and took the opportunity to reassure the crowd.

What motivated Tim Maia’s record label and family lawsuit against Corinthias?

The São Paulo football club used the song in commercials during Club World Championship of 2012, in which Corinthians was champion after beating the English chelsea. like the column Rogerio Gentile at the UOL Sports reported, the amount of compensation has not been defined, but record company Warner Chappelresponsible for rights, and family members ask for BRL 4 million.

It is worth remembering how Corinthians you can still resort to action. During the club’s games, the crowd sings a kind of parody of “I don’t want money (I just want to love),” but the problem was using the track without prior authorization in an advertising campaign, which was broadcast on television and the internet, which promoted the club’s name.

In publications made on Instagram, Carmelo Maia clarified the case and thanked the contact of some fans of the São Paulo club. “I’m coming here, putting my face in humility and respect, to talk about this issue of action against Corinthians. It’s nothing against Corinthiansmuch less against the crowd,” he said.

Fans: you must sing as many times as you want and change the lyrics as many times as you want. What has to be respected, and it wasn’t at the time… that’s because of the old management, which no one is even in anymore Corinthians. No one wanted to welcome us, that’s the great truth. So, when there is no room for dialogue, all I have left is Justice.

“I want to send a salute here to Gavião da Fiel, shirt number 12, Pavilion 9, fuse, draft beer It is almighty fuscao,” he continued. “The person who received me was almighty fuscao, who contacted me in the greatest humility and has all my respect. I want to send a greeting to all the organizations in the Corinthians. I put my face here in a good mood and I cleared all doubts on the subject, we are together. There’s no confusion against anyone.”

My father’s music, in fact, is licensed and managed by a multinational, which has to recognize when something comes up against the law. When you are not respected [o direito autoral], you have to take appropriate measures. And I am the only child [de Tim Maia].

So, I put my face here and explain what happened: there was a campaign at that time, in which everyone involved certainly received their ‘makes me laugh,’ and the only one who didn’t receive it was the Tim Maia. Other than that, I say to the fans: sing, you can sing, there is nothing prohibited. Incidentally, the law does not even mention a ban on cheering. What the law makes clear is when there is commercial exploitation [da música]since millions of reais are involved in an advertising campaign.

What did Corinthians say about the process?

In response, club lawyers commented on how this parody of “I don’t want money (I just want to love)” was created by the fans, while the video was produced by Rede Globoand defined it as “mere paraphrase,” something that would not need authorization, according to the defense of Corinthians. Although, Court of Justice of São Paulo didn’t accept it.

“It is true that the passage ‘I’ve been waiting all week to see you Corinthiansto see you playing […]’ is not a mere paraphrase of the original lyrics. This is because, in addition to reproducing in full the excerpt ‘the whole week, I was waiting’, it kept the melody of the widely known song,” said Maria do Carmo Honório, judge and rapporteur of the process.

There was economic exploitation by the Corinthiansincluding the use of the excerpt stamped on the players’ shirts.
