Bad Bunny has hatched a lawsuit against a fan, who posted videos of a recent concert of his online.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, the hitmaker has hit a man named Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone with a fiery suit for posting long-form footage of his February 21 concert in Salt Lake City.
Garrone stands accused of sharing videos – including full performances – of Bad Bunny’s show on his YouTube channel, MADforliveMUSIC.
Per the suit, the 29-year-old is seeking an injunction barring Garrone from sharing the videos online — as well as either $150,000 for each of the videos posted or any actual damages he can prove that he incurred by way of the postings.
Within the filing, Bad Bunny asserts that he owns the rights to the music in the performances and did not grant rights for Garrone’s usage in any capacity. He stresses that Garrone’s unauthorized actions redirect views (and in turn ad revenue) away from his YouTube channel – thus the losses.
Before proceeding with the suit, the Latin music sensation made a formal complaint with YouTube, which temporarily resulted in the removal of the videos. However, they were restored when Garrone filed an appeal.
*******
The outcome of the dispute will no doubt prove interesting, as the sharing of concert footage online from paying concert-goers has been a fairly standard fare and arguably serves to promote the show itself.
At the same time, with more and more artists going the concert film route and finding lucrative means of leveraging live show footage, it figures why there could be complications and irritations attached to said footage being freely available online.
With that, what are…
omg! I can tell this messy bottom is so desperate for money. You don;t do this to your fans…. this is not CHina…. stupid artist.
One eye symbolism. Everybody at the top is a Satanist.
I always thought it was just a mere nuisance, nothing they can actually do about it because it’s not illegal to upload your own personal footage. What would be illegal is another fan uploading Barron’s footage. 🫤
Why you are so FAT? Stop eating buffet everyday
Insulin shortage sis, with an attitude like that, she’ll be gone soon enough. The universe will sort this one out.
Screaming!!!!!
Yes! A warning to all you so-called Beyonce fans. Beyonce don’t like you ! Yall exploit her stuff and bounce around like y’all pay for the s***! And that’s every artist. Stop positing the s*** on the internet, go to the concert to have fun and go home. Stop tryna get clout off a f****** concert ticket eewwwwwww lock them up
bad bunny will lose this. clearly he hadn’t studied the fair use act. as long as the uploader isn’t selling the videos for profit, he cannot be sued.
However the uploader will be earning ad revenue therefore it’s not fair use. The fact that concert footage appears online may also divert others away from purchasing tickets too thus leading to a loss of revenue for the artist, at a time when touring revenue accumulates more than singles or albums. This fair use may not apply.
Clown. 🤡 zero talent.
