The singer asks for R $ 50,000 in compensation and immediate withdrawal of the advertising piece used by the comedian
The federal deputy Tiririca (PL-CE) debuted on the occasion of the elections with the aim of attracting crowds. Candidate for re-election, his campaign decided to characterize him as a singer Roberto Carlo81 years old, singing a parody of ‘O Portão’, one of the best known songs of ‘Rei’.
“I voted, I will vote again, Tiririca, Brasília is your place”, follows the jingle, played by the comedian who became famous for the slogan “Worse than it is, don’t stay, vote Tiririca”. In the video the ways of the singer are imitated, rings on the fingers and dresses in the blue palette, in the manner of Roberto.
It is not the first time that the name of Roberto Carlos is linked to the comedian and federal deputy. In the 2014 campaign, Tiririca was first sued for making a musical parody of Roberto, he was even convicted, so in 2019 the STJ overturned the decision. The 3rd College of the Court, at the time, understood that parodies do not conflict with the law on copyright (as long as the works are not reproduced in full).
“The alleged parody misleads voters and the general public, causing an undue association between Tiririca and Roberto Carlos,” say Roberto Carlos’ lawyers, in an excerpt from the lawsuit. Wanted, his advice confirmed to Estadio that the singer does not publicly support candidates during or before the election. “Against his will, the image of him was linked to the defendant’s campaign [o deputado Tiririca] And […] he still gives a false endorsement to the campaign of the deputy “, completes the piece of the lawyers.
