Victor Fasano Sues Globo Over Streaming and Replays of 2001 Telenovela 'O Clone'

He argues a broad 'internet' clause cannot waive new payments for digital exhibition.

Overview

  • The lawsuit, filed in June 2025, comes from Fasano and his company Paisagio Comércio Vídeo Foto over uses they say fall outside his original deal.
  • The claims target availability on Globoplay and re-airings on Canal Viva, which the plaintiffs allege occurred without due remuneration.
  • Fasano’s lawyers say Globo relies on a contract clause permitting exploitation on the 'internet' and in future modalities to justify streaming without new payments.
  • The action seeks payment for Globoplay and Canal Viva uses, contractual penalties for each alleged breach, and moral damages.
  • The filing also disputes the network’s classification of reruns as licensing rather than reprises, saying the approach yields much lower payouts, and no response from Globo was reported.
