Court Denies Razin Access to "Laskowy Maik" Songs' Rights
In a recent development, the Orenburg Regional Court has denied a request by producer Andrei Razin to obtain copyrights for more than 27 songs by the popular Soviet and Russian boy band, "Laskovy May."
Razin presented a 1992 contract as evidence, claiming it transferred exclusive rights to the songs to him. However, the court's decision was based on articles 328-330 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, but no further details about the reasons for the denial have been provided.
The court case is not related to any advertisements or the burial of the creator of "Laskovy May," which is scheduled for November 13 in Orenburg. It's also important to note that the original agreement on the transfer of rights between songwriter Sergei Kuznetsov and former lead singer Yuri Shatunov, signed in 2019, was deemed authentic.
Razin attempted to declare this deal invalid, but the ruling states that the decision of the Industrial District Court of Orenburg from March 6, 2025, will remain unchanged. The exact number of songs Razin claimed ownership over was not specified in the news article.
The relationship between Razin and the other members of "Laskovy May" in relation to the copyright dispute was not clarified in this paragraph. For detailed, up-to-date information about the copyright ownership and legal history of "Laskovy May’s" music, it is recommended to consult specialized databases on Russian music copyright or legal case archives, or search for interviews and news articles covering this topic.
