A fine of R$5,000 ($3,000-£1,885) will apply to each day the expansion continues to be on sale. Rockstar and distributor Synegex have been told they "are restricted from trading and distributing the expansion Episodes From Liberty City" worldwide. Therefore, the hard copy of the pack, as well as its digital releases on Xbox Live, the PlayStation Store and PC outlets, should be removed from sale, according to the court order. Rockstar has apparently presented documents which show the song was authorised for use in Gay Tony, but the signatures were not those of those who instigated the lawsuit. The reason for the move is down to a claim of improper use of one of the songs in The Ballad of Gay Tony, one of the two episodes for GTA IV alongside The Lost and Damned in EFLC.ĭaniel Haaksman's song Conga Kid is said to feature an unauthorised sample from Bota o Dedinho pro Alto, composed by Hamilton Lourenço da Silva, the father of MC Miltinho, who appears in Conga Kid. According to Kotaku, a Brazilian court has placed an worldwide injunction to stop the sale of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.
