In 2010, a lawsuit was filed by Brazilian composer Hamilton Lourenço da Silva with the Civil Court in Barueri against Rockstar Games and Synergex Brazil to restrict trading and distributing of Episodes From Liberty City in Brazil, and Worldwide, due to the song "Conga Kid", which is featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony, having sampled from his song "Bota o Dedinho pro Alto" without his permission. The injunction stated that a fine of R $5,000 (US $3,000) would be issued for each day the expansion was continued to be sold.
