Eric Clapton Successfully Sues Woman For Bootleg CD Worth $11

Asshole should be grateful someone bought it

Who’s the Asian woman? Is that what Eric Clapton looks like now?

His lawyers probably have the power to do this without his knowledge.

The laws the law.

[quote] His lawyers probably have the power to do this without his knowledge.

I was thinking this No doubt he is incorporated with a professional business management team.

Clapton had also asked in the ruling to be able to refer to the defendant and ‘that filthy kraut gook’ but this was rejected by the court.

I need to clear out some of my albums. Clapton will be first to go.

This is why I jumped.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it.

An adage that my father drilled into me at an early age. That being said, making an example of this woman using that type of legal logic is cruel and callous on the part of Clapton's lawyers, and it seems to me that it's very unlikely that he's is unaware of their machinations.

Clapton is a dick. As much as he's been a major musical influence in my life, I have a serious problem listening to his works now, because I can't disassociate the music from the person that I did not know existed up until relatively recently.

Never let anyone influence you.

Trust no one.

How very interesting. In 2006 I notified ebay that somebody was bootlegging the Noel Coward stories that were broadcasted on PBS in the Spring of 1987. They were charging close to a hundred dollars for the DVDs, wh. were just VHS to DVD copies, and not even good ones. Ebay didn't do anything. But for an eleven dollar fucking Eric Clapout CD, they're gonna take action 'coz slowbrain's big daddy lawyers are making a stink. Fuck them.

R4, homosexuality used to be a felony.

[quote] Fuck them.

You sound very angry, R11.

Who are you most angry about, in order of anger?

[quote] homosexuality used to be a felony.

Homosexual acts in public places used to be a felony.

Can't that racist asshole just contract COVID and die?

You sound very angry, R15.

Clapton lost his mind when his son died. I remember going to the site on 57th Street and looking up at the building and the height from which that poor little child must have fallen. Harrowing.

I think celebrities spend all day online Googling their names.

R18, if that's true, then I hope he sees R15's post and the fact that I agree with it. That old racist shit can't die sue enough.

Clapton is dog

Copyright laws only work for people with the money to enforce them. It needs to be scaled back.

Oh, dear.

R21 Copyright laws only work for people who actually create.

They're a hindrance to those who don't create and who steal the work of others.

The law is a ass.

Eric Clapton's son killed himself because his music sucks.

we already know he is a racist asshole and antivaxxer, but this is just pathetic, going after a widower for one copy of CD? Please Omicron and Delta strike him down!

[quote] The Guardian writes that Eric Clapton’s lawyers first sent her a threatening letter, telling her to remove the listing. She reportedly responded to that letter with the following message:

[quote] “I object and ask you not to harass or contact me any further”, and told them “feel free to file a lawsuit if you insist on the demands.”

She literally dared them to sue her, and they did. What's the old saying? Don't poke the bear?

Worth only $11 in cash, but so much more in bad publicity.

[quote]homosexuality used to be a felony.

So if someone steals your car you should turn a blind eye because of that?

What a stupid fucking retarded argument.

R28 stop defending that piece of shit!

oh I like this user's comment under that article

[quote] - What's the difference between a baby and a bag of cocaine? -Eric Clapton wouldn't let a bag of cocaine fall out of a window.

Clapton can’t pay attention to his five year old son but he can pay attention to eBay?

I must scold a millionaire I've never met.

If she had gone to the concert and recorded it herself, I could see suing her. But, according to her, her husband bought it in a presumably legitimate department store. Therefore she would have every reason to believe it was legal product that she could sell on the secondhand market. The people he should sue would be the people that put it out and sold it in 1987.

The people he should sue would be fucking nobody. What a stupid petty ridiculous waste of everyone's time. He's going nuts? Is he just going to keep doing stupid shit for stupid shit reasons until he dies?

Sorry, IS HE going nuts?

The moment she received the letter from the lawyers that it was an illegal recording, she should have complied and taken down the auction. And that would've been the end of it. However, she refused to take down the auction and that's when the lawyers took her to court.
