São Paulo Judge Bars Zé Neto & Cristiano From Promo Video That Used Leaked Images

The ruling signals courts will curb music marketing that exploits leaked private messages.

Overview

  • The São Paulo civil court, which issued the urgent order on Wednesday, barred the duo from using any images, data, or identifiers of influencer Karolina Trainotti in promotion for the song Oi, Tudo Bem.
  • Trainotti sued claiming her image and personal data were used without consent and seeks damages for what she describes as vexing and commercial exposure of her private life.
  • The judge, Daniela Dejuste de Paula, found a risk of harm due to the speed of online spread and said the issue was not the song’s lyrics but the video’s use of leaked content to identify real people.
  • The contested clip paired the track’s lyrics about a man juggling relationships with images and messages tied to banker Daniel Vorcaro that surfaced after police broke his phone secrecy in Operation Compliance Zero.
  • Zé Neto said on Instagram he first thought the summons was an April 1 joke and that the case will be handled in court, and press reports say the audio release remains planned for April 9 even though the specific video is barred.
