A website maintenance company must pay R$5,000 in compensation for moral damages to a web design company. Reason: removed the web design company's logo from internet pages and put yours in its place. The decision was made by judge Raimundo Messias Júnior, from the 3rd Civil Court of Belo Horizonte. There is an appeal.
The web design company claimed Special Data that the pages are accessed daily by thousands of people and constitute the main means of promoting its services. For the company, the suppression of its brand has caused incalculable damage.
She also alleged copyright infringement “comparable to that of a writer who merely updates a literary work and removes the author's name from it, replacing it with his own”.
For this reason, the web design company requested the removal of the logo, in addition to asking for compensation for moral and material damages. He also requested that the company disclose the real authorship in a newspaper with large circulation.
For the judge, the damage was evident since the company's works were disclosed without its identification. But he denied material damages because it was not proven how much the company stopped earning during the time the pages were without its logo. The request for a retraction in a printed newspaper was also denied.
The company was also ordered to immediately remove its name from the pages created by the author.
