The guitar player takes bootlegs of his music quite seriously, it seems.
Eric Clapton went after a woman who was trying to hawk one of his CDs — a bootleg one, no less — for about $11… and now he’s won, meaning she’s gotta pay a lot more than that. Deutsche Welle reports a judgement was filed in Clapton’s favor earlier this week at a court in the Düsseldorf area of Germany… where he’d sued this 55-year-old widow, who says her late husband bought the album years ago at a record store — arguing she didn’t know it was fake or infringing on his copyright. The woman was reportedly trying to sell it on eBay for less than $12 — something Eric and his team apparently caught wind of somehow, and decided to fight it tooth and nail.
