Bad Bunny Sues Concertgoer Who Fought to Keep ‘Bootleg’ Footage On YouTube


Bad Bunny filed a lawsuit against a fan who posted videos from a recent concert to YouTube, after the alleged bootlegger argued the clips were legal.

In a complaint filed Friday in federal court, attorneys for Bad Bunny ( Benito Martínez Ocasio) claimed Eric Guillermo Madroñal Garrone posted videos covering ten songs from a February concert in Salt Lake City to his YouTube channel “MADforliveMUSIC,” infringing copyrights and “luring” viewers to his page. In the case of Garrone’s footage, Bad Bunny’s representatives filed a takedown notice for all ten of the clips from the Salt Lake City concert, arguing that they featured unauthorized recordings of huge hits like “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Me Porto Bonito,” “Dakiti” and others. “The removed videos also cover the start of the worldwide tour of Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Bad Bunny, with this being his first date out of the 47 planned across North America, constituting in itself a newsworthy event of high public interest and significant informative scope,” Garrone wrote.
