Bad Bunny is mad at a fan whom he claims posted unauthorized live performance footage on a YouTube account … and now he is suing the dude.
According to a brand new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Bad Bunny claims a person named Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone posted full music performances on the YouTube channel he runs, MADforliveMUSIC.
Bad Bunny claims Garrone went to his Feb. 21 live performance in Salt Lake City, Utah and recorded a number of movies of his reside efficiency … importing the footage to Garrone’s YouTube channel.
Problem is … Bad Bunny says he owns the rights to the reside efficiency music and Garrone didn’t have his authorization or consent to document and publish them on-line for folks to look at without cost.
Bad Bunny says Garrone is utilizing the well-known singer’s identify and music to attract eyeballs to the YouTube channel … thus taking views and advert income away from Bad Bunny’s personal official YouTube web page.
In the docs, Bad Bunny says he tried to challenge customary takedown notices underneath the Digital Millennium Copyright Act — often known as DMCA — demanding YouTube take away Garrone’s movies.
Bad Bunny claims YouTube took down the movies however Garrone filed a counterclaim to get them again up … leaving BB no selection however to file the lawsuit.
TMZ did some digging and located the YouTube channel Bad Bunny has beef with … and it appears all of the movies of his music performances are deleted for now … aside from this video of the live performance orchestra that opened for Bunny that evening there in SLC.
Clearly, Garrone had an excellent view on the present and a few high-quality digital camera tools … and this orchestra footage runs 9 minutes within the YouTube add.
If Garrone was taking pictures/posting related movies for the remainder of Bad Bunny’s live performance — as Bunny claims — it appears rather a lot totally different than simply importing a mobile phone video of the present to social media …. as hundreds of thousands of individuals do. In truth, a number of shorter clips of his live performance from that night are up on TikTok — however none of them are all that prolonged.
