If even just one week to the publication of the Estudio General de Medios, Cadena SER has announced that it has filed a lawsuit against the COPE, Paco González y Pepe Domingo Castaño for alleged infringement of intellectual property rights and acts unfair competition. That is, the BE program accused 'Game Time' of the COPE of plagiarizing the "Carrusel Deportivo. The lawsuit calls for the suspension or temporary cessation of operation of the format and calls the Commercial Court of Madrid, as a precautionary measure, take the accounting and deposit of the advertising revenue derived from 'Game Time' as this season.

The SER also claiming compensation for moral damages worth three million euros and aims to, as a precautionary measure at least until the trial, the COPE website removed from the recordings of programs made since the last 28 August. Before proceeding, let's recap briefly the sequence of events and we were telling you in NDF in the past month of May, Paco Gonzalez, the then director of Carrusel Deportivo SER, went out the back door of the station leader in Spain after being suspended without pay for a row with the directors of the home. During the summer, Paco González y Pepe Domingo Castaño his ever signed to the Cadena COPE and they were a majority of team members with reservations carousel-like Mr. X -.

La Cadena SER argues that the format of 'Carrusel Deportivo' has been plagiarized and imitated by the co-defendants in the program 'Game Time', in at least twelve essential elements such as: 'The round informative', 'The party day ',' The Play with taste 'and the use of sound as a warning Morse goal, including sound effects copied. Also consider that plagiarism extends to any format: the binomial director-animator, the sports-information fusion advertising performing identical advertising creatives live animations of the radio program, broadcast modes of messages from listeners and use of sound effects using a machine powered by the director.

The demand is accompanied by an expert of Angel Faus-professor at the School of Communication and Professor Emeritus at the University of Navarra, whose report was analyzed and compared the athletic programs of all radio stations. This report is based on peer review formats 'Game Time' in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, which considered so different that even states that the only thing they have in common is the name, while compare the similarities between the versions of "Carousel Deportivo previous years and the present with the 'Game Time' of the season.

When I published my first impressions of the two programs we discussed the strong similarities between the sports facilities of both stations and the fact is that to me seemed more outrageous the copy of The Party of 12 (COPE) to the stringer (SER) , the adventure time, the doctors, the debate on Thursday ... -. However, the station has focused PRISA the matter to the live football programs and, at least for now, has not publicly raised any further action.

It is clear that the 'Game Time' to Gonzalez and Brown are in the COPE is the same program they did when they were in the SER, anywho has heard have no doubt. Assuming that I understand that the SER may have much reason to believe that the complaint was made just a week after the publication of the first EGM, which will reveal how much hearing you have been with them González-Castaño is , obviously, a preemptive strike. At this time, neither COPE nor the co-defendants have made no declaration. I, of course, be very aware of the first hour of Saturday's program, see what they say ...
