Ernst threatened Zemfira with a return claim

Channel First Channel Channel Channel Konstantin Ernst said that he would sue singer Zemfira, who accused the Channel One of copyright violations.

Earlier, Zemfira reproached the first channel for the unauthorized use of her music at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Sochi. Remix Songs of Zemfira "Do you want?" Sounded during the parade of nations.

“I know Zemfira from the very beginning, when no one knew. I called Zemfira several times in a row, she did not take the phone, ”said Konstantin Ernst, general producer of the opening ceremony of the XXII Olympic Games in Sochi, on the air of the Echo of Moscow radio station.

“I can say that Zemfira violated the contract with the company that I managed at that time, Real Records and I did not sue it. It was there 5 or 7 years ago. I think that her desire to attract attention against the background, so to speak, of interest in the Olympic Games ... Well, she can sue, but then, I'm afraid, I will be forced to return to the history of her violation of the contract with Real Records, ” Ernst threatened.

“I then forgave her this violation, and did not sue. Although, he could. If she will respond to such an attitude to such a lawsuit, well, in this case, you know, there is such a principle of “level of proposed actions”. I think that I am for Zemfira, for her career I made a lot. And such pettiness, it seems to me, just disgrace such an outstanding singer, ”said Channel One CEO.

PS The official representative of Zemfira on the air of the Business FM radio station said that the singer would not sue. Zemfira gave the go-ahead to use her composition, and the conflict arose due to the fact that the artist wanted to get acquainted with the result of work on the song before she sounded at the opening of the Olympics.
