A court in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don has established that Deep Purple, who gave a concert in the said city, by doing so have violated their own rights to their songs.

The court declared that since the rights of all foreign performers are represented in Russia by an organisation called "The Russian Authors Society", it was illegal to hold a concert without agreeing it with the organisation. The band themselves did not give their consent to be represented by the said organisation, neither they were even aware of its existence.

The court has ruled that the organisers of the concert (a local Russian organisation) are to pay a fine of 450 000 roubles (approx. 14 000 USD). The money (minus legal fees) is then to be transferred to Deep Purple as a compensation for their violation of their own rights.

Go Russia!

Hah - that's pretty messed up - and funny.

I wonder how big a chunk "legal fees" are - maybe that's how Russia gets its cut? Otherwise Deep Purple could just give the money back to the organizers. But that could be another opportunity to tax them again? Dunno!

According to the scans of the documents in the article, it's only $400.

"for their violation of their own rights" :D

Sounds like that organisation tried to flex its muscles. What was band's stance during this trial?

Too bad it had to happen to a band like Deep Purple.

I don't understand.

So the russian organizers paid Deep Purple once for the concert and they have to pay them again now? LOL
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.
