The Cuban comedian Luis Silva, interpreter of Pánfilo in television spaceLive the story, responded to comments from a userFacebook ensuring that he is the "absolute owner" of the character.

"It came out of my head, it's my creation," said the actor in response to the writing of a user who used the digital platform to express his opinion that the main problem that is currently being debated on social networks following Andy's expulsion Vázquez (Facundo Correcto) of the program, lies in the violation of all intellectual property rights. Who are the owners and creators of the humorous space and to what extent is it legal for comedians to appear in Miami, asked Cuban Alejandro Cruz.

Silva reminded him that Pánfilo was born in 2001, when he was studying Cybernetics at the University of Havana, and therefore with him he does and decides "whatever he wants."

"I take Pánfilo to Miami, to the Cubans of Miami who don't miss Living by the Story, and I also take him to the nursing homes in Cuba," he said.

At another time, the comedian explained to the user that anywhere in the world, "actors really get paid." He confessed that this is the reason why he works inshows "until 2 in the morning" for various audiences.

"If not, we cannot do the Karl Marx, nor the Aquelarre, nor tours throughout the country," he stated.

Finally, he came out in defense of his co-worker and friend Andy Vázquez and believes that "no one deserves what they did to them"In his words, he assured that those who must be punished are those who have the Cuatro Caminos market empty and undersupplied (the reason why the comedian was prevented from participating inthe last season of the show). "There was nothing in that video," he said.

User Alejandro Cruz was worried about the program being distributed on pages likeYouTube and that the ICRT allows this to happen, and expresses itself in favor of the right of the Cuban state institution to "protect itself."

"We have to think and adjust these types of contracts to the current times to get much closer to international practices in this sense," he says.

In this sense, Cruz is unaware that the ICRT is one of the main violators of intellectual property, since the island's public television and radio broadcast programs, songs, series and movies from other countries, mainly North American, without worrying about the corresponding payment for the copyright and committing censorship to those spaces that they consider inconsistent with the political and social system imposed on the island.
