The singer Noelia and her husband, Jorge Reynoso, filed a lawsuit against the magazine TVNotas USA, after the publication last February revealed that the singer and her manager were married in 2007 and published photographs of the wedding without his consent.
In their complaint, filed today in federal court in Los Angeles, the interpreter of “You” and her husband state that Maya Magazines Inc. and Maya Publishing Group LLC, a company which belongs TVNotas USA, have committed the alleged crimes of violation of federal copyright, violation of privacy and malicious misappropriation.
After two years of marriage, the defendants copied, reproduced, published and distributed the photos without the permission of the plaintiffs, said in a separate application, which ensures that in making public the union of singer are caused him irreparable harm.
“Part of Noelia’s success is attributed to its status as a sex symbol and recognized as a result of the next misappropriation [of photographs], the plaintiffs were damaged reputation and loss of advertising value,” added the plaintiffs, by which sought compensation for damages.
The couple married on January 3, 2007 in a chapel of the We’ve Only Just Begun Wedding Chapel Inc. in Las Vegas, NV, with the aim of maintaining its link in absolute secrecy, at the wedding were the only minister who officiated the ceremony and a photographer who was employed there.
On March 9, Noelia and her husband registered the copyright of the six photographs that were used by the magazine, four days after the chapel in which they were married only handed the rights over that material.
