A band denounces Soledad Núñez for using a song in a campaign without a license
Asu Funk'chula said the song “ASU” was included in election advertising without authorization or payment of royalties. The group asked for the material to be removed and warned that it is considering legal action.
The band Asu Funk’chula denounced that its song “ASU” was used without authorization in a campaign video for the candidate for Mayor of Asunción, Soledad Núñez, of List 4.
According to La Nación Paraguay, the group said in a statement that it had previously been contacted to arrange a license for use, but that contract was not finalized. Even so, it said that months later the song appeared in campaign ads for Núñez and the Partido Patria Querida, without consent or payment of royalties.
In the same text, the musicians clarified that their complaint is not a political position, but a defense of their intellectual property.
According to that complaint, they also demanded the immediate removal of the material and said they are evaluating filing legal action for the unauthorized use of the work, which they indicated is protected by DINAPI and APA.
