Carla Morrison says slew of unauthorized 'Disfruto' remixes, freestyle raps are 'disrespectful'
Morrison, who owns the copyright to all her songs, later thanked fans on Twitter for tagging those"irresponsible" ones who are using her song adding that her lawyer was on it."If they don't do it the right way, then there will be consequences," she tweeted.
But it's not Nicky Jam, Lunay or Nesi she's going after, since Instagram plays don't translate to revenue. It's the other existing versions that are unauthorized, uploaded to YouTube or Spotify and monetized., "What called our attention was a whole lot of unauthorized versions of 'Disfruto' that don't credit her. It’s been a challenge to find some of these sometimes. A lot of them are up on YouTube.
He adds that this is something they've been dealing with since 2018 when a DJ from Colombia created an unauthorized dance version of"Disfruto." "For whatever reason, someone in Colombia decided to make a danceable version of one of Morrison's saddest songs. That version became kind of a hit in Colombia. We were able to track it down and license that one and a few other versions but there are still some out there that don't have permission and we're just finding them now," Gastelum says.
When it comes to those posting on social media only, it's more of a gray area, he explains."If there is any monetization that is happening from the song, which I'm not really sure if that's the case, then there would be an issue."
