Petrodvortsov district court accepted the claim of Veronika Vasilkova to the local record company. The daughter of a famous jazz drummer accused the firm of illegally selling her father's music, said the head of the United press service of the courts of St. Petersburg Daria Lebedeva.
According to the plaintiff, the company without permission sells vinyl and CDs with the soundtrack to the film “Does not hurt the head at the woodpecker”. One record costs 5 999 rubles.
The defendant claims to have bought the rights from Lenfilm. However, the film studio and the Gosfilmofond had the right only to the old recordings themselves, but not to Vasilkov’s music itself, so they could not transfer the copyright.
Now the daughter of the musician demands to forbid the company to use the compositions of his father, and all unsold.
