La SGAE podría ser multada con 600.000 euros por grabar ilegalmente una boda
Pretendía probar que se pinchaba música sin pagar derechos de autor
La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) has accepted for processing a complaint from the Association for the Protection of Consumer Data (Worn out) considering that there are indications that the General Society of Authors and Editors (SGAE) violated the law by recording a wedding with the aim of proving that music was being played without paying royalties. The SGAE could be sanctioned with a fine of up to 600.000 euros.
The admission of this complaint for processing occurs after the Commercial Court number 1 of Seville condemned to a celebration hall, The Taming of Saint Joseph, located in San Juan de Aznalfarache (Seville), to pay 43.179 euros to the society of authors for playing music without paying the corresponding intellectual property rights. However, The ruling declared illegal the video of a wedding that was provided as evidence and recorded by a private detective hired by the SGAE.
Joaquin Moeckel, salon lawyer, has said that the admission of the complaint shows that the Organic Law has been breached 15/99 of Data Protection since, according to him, The SGAE transferred images and personal data without the consent of those attending the wedding.
Moeckel will provide the AEPD with the demand, the ruling of the Commercial Court and the notarial record of the bride and groom's statements since the body has required more information to study the case.
Let's see how all this ends.
