Prince sues 'bootleggers' for $1m each Suffering ... Prince alleges that Dan Chodera and Karina Jindrova are infringing on his copyright and bootlegged his performances. PRINCE may love his millions his fans, but he doesn't love them posting his live performances online. According to RadarOnline.com, the superstar has filed lawsuits against two mega-fans, and he wants them to pony up over a million bucks each. The lawsuit filed in a California federal court on January 16 by Prince (real name Prince Rogers Nelson), alleges that Dan Chodera and Karina Jindrova are infringing on his copyright of music and bootlegged his performances. "The Defendants rely on either Google's Blogger platform or Facebook, or both, to accomplish their unlawful activity," the court papers read. Defendants, rather than publishing lawful content to their blogs, typically publish posts that list all the songs performed at a certain Prince live show and then provide a link to a file sharing service where unauthorised copies of the performance can be downloaded. Prince claims to have found over 363 infringing links to file sharing services on his copyrighted songs. Some of the footage allegedly uploaded by the defendants dates back to performances from 1983. In the documents, Prince claims "Defendants' infringements have caused and will continue to cause substantial, immediate and irreparable injury to Prince for which there is no adequate remedy at law." Prince has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages in an amount according to proof, but no less than $US1 million ($1.1 million) per Defendant and, in addition, is also entitled to recover from Defendants costs and attorneys' fees.
