Copyright Notice & Legal Information
All KVITKA material, including, but not limited to, phonorecords, audio files, text, graphics, images, audio clips, and digital downloads is owned and controlled by KMC Records and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights. The KVITKA material is made available on this website solely for personal, non-commercial use and may not be copied, reproduced, republished, modified, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any other way, including by e-mail or other electronic means, without the express prior written consent of KMC Records in each instance. Only KVITKA material originating from KMC Records is legally produced and remunerates Kvitka Cisyk’s heirs. KMC Records will seek out and prosecute to the fullest possible extent any illegal manufacturer and seller of infringing KVITKA materials.
Please note that such infringing KVITKA material includes all KVITKA CDs presently manufactured and sold in Ukraine. KVITKA albums originating in the Ukraine have been improperly authorized by the government of that country in direct violation of the existing copyrights as well as the Ukraine’s obligations as a signatory to the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works. Not one of the Ukrainian entities currently manufacturing and selling KVITKA albums is authorized to do so by the copyright holders, nor is any of these entities paying royalties. KMC Records is presently pursuing the legal measures necessary to obtain an official reversal of the Ukrainian government’s improper actions with respect to KVITKA albums. In the meantime, we ask that all who wish to own Kvitka’s music kindly purchase those items produced by KMC Records, readily available through this website.
