Around the “Eurovision” in Kiev, another scandal broke. Video

Using the image of Carlson on “game of thrones” may come back to haunt the organizers of the competition big problems.

Holders of Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren are going to sue the organizers of “Eurovision” in Kiev.

As journalists found out, they did not like using the image of Karlsson in the semi-finals of the competition.

According to the Executive Director of the company Saltkråkan AB Ulla Nyman, Lindgren’s heirs were already discussing possible legal action with a lawyer in Russia. The company Saltkråkan AB owns and administers the rights to the works of Astrid Lindgren.

On the official website of the company even placed a special prohibition, according to which “to dress up in Pippi Longstocking and other characters of Astrid Lindgren in a public context” is considered a violation of copyright.

“We’re pretty hardened to this plan, so was not surprised and did not angry. But we take seriously any violations of rights. When someone uses images of Astrid Lindgren’s characters without permission is a crime against copyright,” — says Nyman the emergence of Carlson in the semi-final of “Eurovision”, and adds that if the characters are pulled out of their worlds, there is a risk that people’s interest will be lost, and the book would lose its magic.

According to Nyman, the image was not created in order to fly on “the Eurovision” in Ukraine: “It somewhere flew, so to speak.”

We will remind, in the second semifinal of “Eurovision-2017” appeared Carlson from the book of Astrid Lindgren “the Kid and Carlson”. To the audience he appeared in the form of crazy Stalker, who is chasing Verka Serduchka.
