Power Agenda - Chico Buarque and Eduardo Bolsonaro will face each other in the hearing of the lawsuit that the singer filed against the federal deputy for the unauthorized use of the song "Roda Viva".
According to g1, the information comes from the singer's lawyer, João Tancredo, who also confirmed the date of the meeting, July 27th – at the 6th Special Civil Court of the Lagoa District, in Rio de Janeiro.
"They will be face to face. In court, the parties must appear in person," Tancredo said.
Music has already been removed from the post
On December 16, Judge Fernando Rocha Lovisi, who is leading the case, granted an urgent preliminary injunction for Eduardo Bolsonaro to remove the song from the post in which it was used.
“I grant the injunction for the immediate removal of the broadcast of Chico Buarque's song in the post at the URL mentioned in the initial petition, on the grounds that the legal requirements are present, under penalty of a daily fine of R$1,” wrote the judge in his decision.
Before that, the singer went through a peculiar situation when two actions were denied by substitute judge Monica Ribeiro Teixeira, under the justification that the request would be denied due to lack of proof of authorship of “Roda Viva”.
The ongoing action, filed by lawyer João Tancredo, also requests compensation in the amount of R$48 and the publication of the conviction on the same social network where the work was misused.
Legal controversy
At the end of November, Chico Buarque had already made the same request to the 6th Special Civil Court of the Capital Lagoa, but substitute judge Monica Ribeiro Teixeira denied the request, alleging lack of proof of authorship of “Roda Viva”.
Lawyer João Tancredo filed an appeal, but it was again denied without analysis of its merits.
"Roda Viva" was composed in 1967 and presented to the public at the III Festival of Brazilian Popular Music, which only accepted original and unreleased songs. The following year, it inspired a play of the same name by Chico Buarque, which was staged by José Celso Martinez Corrêa's Teatro Oficina.
The song is credited to Chico Buarque in the Cravo Albin Dictionary of Brazilian Popular Music and in the “Central Office for Collection and Distribution”, Ecad.
