The "scandal girl" singer Zemfira has once again confirmed her title. However, this time the scandal promises to be not very loud. The other day, the performer was outraged by the use of her hit at the opening ceremony of the Sochi Olympics without her consent. However, the star does not plan to fight for her rights in court.

On February 7, immediately after the opening of the Olympic Games, an indignant message appeared on the star's website. Zemfira accused the leadership of Channel One of the fact that her song "Do you want?" used without permission. As the artist wrote, Channel One "ignored all possible agreements" with her.

The general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst, who authored and produced the opening ceremony, was also outraged. He caught the star in an attempt to attract attention against the backdrop of the Olympics and threatened to sue if Zemfira claims copyright infringement. As Ernst explained, he has a reason: five to seven years ago, the singer violated the terms of the contract with the company "Real Records", which Ernst ran at that time.

Today, February 10, the record of the violation of the artist's rights disappeared from her website. And the official representative of the performer Pavlo Shevchuk said that she was not going to sue. According to him, Zemfira did not plan to sue, she simply considered it necessary to express her dissatisfaction with the actions of the TV channel.

At the same time, lawyers note: formally, the singer is right.

“The claims are completely fair: we have the Civil Code, and there is Chapter 70, which fully protects copyright. The use of copyrights without the consent of the author himself is prohibited, and copyrights arise at the time of the invention of this publication or this music, therefore formally Zemfira, of course, is right, lawyer Oleg Zhukov explained to Kommersant.
