BUENA VISTA ANTI-SOCIAL CLUB?


The Metro reports that the familities of the songwriters featured in the Buena Vista Social Club is seeking compensation in the UK High Court from Peer International Corporation, who claims that it bought the copyright to various songs featured in the film in the 1930s. The families however claim that the artists were not properly paid. PIC however claims that it set up accounts in favour of the signers after US trade embargos made it possible to pay the funds directly to Cuban artists and claims that the beneficiary here would be the Cuban Government.

The IPKat thinks that this case is worth making a song and dance about...

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
