Uzbekistan has recorded another case of copyright infringement, this time involving the creative legacy of the late folk artist Sherali Juraev. According to the Ministry of Justice, performer Sardor Mamadaliev was held accountable for illegally performing several well-known compositions without the permission of the rights holder.

The ministry received a complaint from Juraev's heir, who pointed out that Mamadaliev performed the songs "Ko‘rmisham", "Bandaman", and "Karvon" without authorization. Following an investigation, an administrative protocol was drawn up against the artist, and the case materials were forwarded to the court for legal proceedings.

The Chust District Court in Namangan Region found Mamadaliev guilty of copyright infringement. He was fined 20 base calculation units, equivalent to 8.2 million Uzbek soums. This penalty underscores the enforcement of intellectual property laws in Uzbekistan and serves as a warning to other performers.
