Although the actual names of most of the defendants in the lawsuit haven’t been revealed and the websites named in the suit can no longer be accessed, the usernames identified in the lawsuit (like “PurpleKissTwo”) indicate that at least some of the targets are Prince die hard fans. Continue...
The suit went further to state that the circulation of a 31-year-old live set damages Prince’s earning capability, with the singer leveling charges of direct copyright infringement, ‘unauthorized fixation and trafficking in sound recordings’, contributory copyright infringement and bootlegging.
“Prince has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages in an amount according to proof, but no less than $1 million per defendant,” the lawsuit reads.
Prince has a history of suing anyone who uses his material without permission, but most times doesn’t follow through on his threats. A 2007 effort to sue The Pirate Bay went nowhere. This new lawsuit is likely to go much further.

Hmm Linda I like you but pls report news accurately. First, according to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed about 2 weeks ago and it was against anonymous bloggers/bootleggers who posted his videos illegally. They were not fans. In addition the lawsuit has was dropped. Nigerians are not that stupid nah. You have readers all the world that also follow accurate news!

Prince is bored and broke, why the hell not just file a suit to take the websites down and provide your concert material on a site that charges, thats all!!
Firstly the people you are suing are your hardcore fans (trust me they are to be listening to you this time, age and day.. WOW)
Secondly a 1 in three hundred thousand chance says these people actually have that fucking $22 million you are demanding #takeseveralseats
Hello! FYI Prince is not gay..He's straight, but he's what you'd call androgynous.
Ok. Let's watch them pay
Dimnishing returns
