Next Sunday, March 10, will be the 96th edition of the Oscar Awards organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, an evening in which various film productions will be awarded in around 23 categories.
Among the presenters of the gala are Rita Moreno, Chris Hemsworth, Dwayne Johnson, Octavia Spencer, John Mulaney, Michael Keaton and Jennifer Lawrence and the Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Benito Antonio Martínez, better known as Bad Bunny, news that went viral at the end of February .
Bad Bunny expressed that he owns the rights to his live music and Garrone did not have authorization or consent to record and publish them so that they can be seen for free.
“Bad Bunny says Garrone is using the famous singer’s name and his music to attract attention to his YouTube channel, thereby taking views and advertising revenue away from Bad Bunny’s own official YouTube page,” TMZ reports. .
It is also described that the artist attempted to issue some notices for the videos to be removed through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, also known as DMCA, where YouTube was required to do this process.
Although the videos were removed from the site, Garrone filed a countersuit to upload them again and that is why Bad Bunny filed the lawsuit.
A nine-minute video of that presentation is currently on their site. There are other videos of tour attendees in Salt Lake on TikTok.
The publication also explains that it wants Garrone to be legally prohibited from publishing the images on the Internet, in addition to 150 thousand dollars (Q1 million 185 thousand) for each of the videos published or any real damage that Bad Bunny demonstrates that he has received.
