Lawsuit against SBT by biologist Vinícius Ferreira
Overview
Biologist and digital influencer Vinícius Ferreira, known as Vini Biólogo, has filed a lawsuit against the Brazilian broadcaster SBT in São Paulo courts, seeking over R$ 1.2 million in compensation for moral and material damages.
Ferreira alleges he produced content for the segment ‘Expedição Animal’ within ‘SBT Notícias’ for approximately 11 months without receiving payment. He claims he personally covered production expenses, including travel, equipment, lodging, and food. Ferreira further stated that after an initial agreement to provide early episodes for free, the broadcaster failed to formalize a contract. He also noted that when seeking professional documentation and audience data, he was presented with an image rights waiver that he felt would strip him of commercial rights and credits.
SBT has contested the claims, asserting that the content was offered by Ferreira for free in exchange for television exposure and sponsorship opportunities. The broadcaster maintains it contributed to the project by assisting with editing and finalization for approximately ten months.
