On 27 January 2004, the concert was released on DVD.[10] In 2010, the Celia Cruz Estate sued Telemundo, claiming the network to not have properly paid the estate for DVD, which resulted in profits exceeding one million dollars. The suit claimed that "Cruz’ appearance would be considered a work for hire. But the suit alleges that contractually, Telemundo had also agreed to pay a donation to Cruz’ charity and that Cruz would be compensated for "any revenue from any ancillary source related to the Tribute, including later post-production and distribution."[11] T
