A Brazilian judge has ordered a song by British pop singer Adele, "Million Years Ago", to be removed from all radio, television, and streaming platforms worldwide. This decision was made by Judge Toninho Geraes, who claims that Adele's song copied his samba classic "Mulheres". As a result, the Brazilian subsidiaries of Sony and Universal, Adele's labels, face a fine of $8,000 per act of non-compliance. However, the music companies can still appeal the decision.
It is a landmark for Brazilian music, which... has often been copied to compose successful international hits.
International producers and artists who … have Brazilian music 'on their radar' for possible parasitic use will think twice, given this decision.
If you have an injunction in Brazil, you can start proceedings in other countries to effectively enforce that injunction in a foreign place but then the difficulty you would have is that you would have to start [new] proceedings in every other jurisdiction in the world. A moron in a hurry wouldn't do it. It's legally meaningless outside of Brazil.
