While I can´t believe Eric would be cheap enough to get personally involved in this, I think it´s unacceptable that he would allow his name to be attached to this without doing anything. It´s sad.

Re: Eric Clapton wins case against German woman selling bootlegged CD
lawyers work for people they don't do it on their own
i would have to think there is more to this than a single cd
i would have expected a take down order and deletion of the sale by ebay
and a nasty letter to the lady and that would be it
a lawsuit makes me think there was more involved
would like to know what else she put up for sale

According to The Guardian in the UK https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/ ... cd-for-845
The issue here seems to be that instead of just saying "it's a fair cop" and taking the ad down, she foolishly challenged it in court. That is why the costs were so high“Costs are usually minimal unless the case is argued in court, which is what happened here as the lady instructed her own lawyers.

What did she expect to get out of this? Somebody had to have complained to eBay about it in the first place.Steve J wrote: ↑Mon Dec 20, 2021 8:22 amAccording to The Guardian in the UK https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/ ... cd-for-845

It is more about label company rather than about Mr. Clapton. It was not his initiative!misterclaudel wrote: ↑Sun Dec 19, 2021 12:17 am Oh it's real alright.....what a petty little man doing that to a widower....she had no knowledge it was a bootleg....very sad!

Re: Eric Clapton wins case against German woman selling bootlegged CD
Why would anyone get lawyers in so they could sell a cd for a few bucks. She's either mad or very very stubborn.
