Singer Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, sued a fan on Friday for posting photos from one of his concerts on YouTube. “MADforliveMUSIC” is the channel on which viewer Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrón posted live performances of the Puerto Rican artist that were later removed from the platform. However, excerpts from the video are still available on social networks.
The artist claims that the video sequence was taken at one of his shows which took place on February 21, 2024 in the city of Salt Lake City (USA). Thus he accused Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrón of knowingly going to the concert with high-quality photo equipment and broadcasting a video of about ten minutes on the web.
According to TMZ, due to neither the image rights nor the artist’s consent, the fan’s approach was considered “scene theft”, directly impacting the advertising revenue of Bad Bunny’s official YouTube page.
$150,000 compensation
The Puerto Rican star was the first to initiate a classic approach to removing content by invoking the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act”, a US law that imposes measures aimed at preventing the production of services that control access to works protected by copyright. and prohibits distribution.
However, the fan filed a request on YouTube to recover the removed content. This latest action left Bad Bunny with no choice but to file a complaint against the holder of the “MADforliveMUSIC” account. Their demand is that the latter should no longer be allowed to publish videos with similar content. In addition, he requests compensation of $150,000 (137,256 euros) for the financial losses suffered.
