See the list of the 34 songs mentioned in the process: Towards the Millennium Executive Nipe Pétolas de Brilho Dourado On the Tray Sometimes I Think About Giving Up ("The Caravan of Terror") Overnight 2 Successful from Mars Lover of My Account My Garage High Risk Profession The Sky Has Darkened It's a Missile It Has to Be Luxury Mercedão (Rescue) 7 Days Away from Home C.C.L.O.N.A.D.O Paraíso do Meu Apogeu Monetary Valve Virei Luz Giant Shark Pernoite Sinceridade (Robin Wood do Guetto) 7 Marcha Oferecida (Set DJ Pedro 4.0) Astronalta Delas Pique de Milionário Tropa do Jogo do Bixo Cracolândia ("Ilusão") feat.

The singer and the company also pointed out that the songs mentioned are by MC Ryan SP or MC BKA. In the decision, judge Rodrigo Garcia Martinez, of the 12th Civil Court of Santos (SP), indicated that the copyright law "categorically establishes that the protection of copyright does not depend on registration." In other words: in addition to screenshots of conversations via the messaging app serving as proof, they also work to protect the composer's rights. The judge also indicated in his decision that only 11 of the 34 songs are registered with UBC in the name of Ryan SP. However, the registration of phonograms or works is carried out by the phonographic producer (in this case, GR6 itself). The decision named Luska as the author of the songs and ordered MC Ryan SP and GR6 to include Luska's name as composer on all digital platforms and on Ecad within 30 days, under penalty of a daily fine of R$1,000. The court ordered the defendants to pay all profits from the transfer and royalties of the 34 songs since the release of each one. The value is under analysis. They were also ordered to pay R$20,000 in moral damages, due to the omission of the composer's name.
