Eric Clapton Successfully Sues Woman Whose Husband Bought Bootleg Of His CD

A court in Germany ruled in favor of the English blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter Eric Clapton Wednesday after a woman tried to cell her husband's CD on eBay for $11.20.

The CD was a recording of a live concert Clapton did in the 1990s. The woman, 55, from the Düsseldorf area, claims that she did not know that attempting to sell the CD would be illegal. Her husband allegedly purchased the CD in 1987 from a department store.

The court denied her appeal on Wednesday, siding with the famous rock singer by saying that it did not matter that the woman did not purchase the CD, or that she did not know trying to sell it was illegal. The injunction will require her to pay the legal fees of both parties, according to the German news outlet DW.

A guitar of Clapton's recently sold for $600,000 dollars at an auction.

Clapton has been embroiled in controversy more recently for his anti-vax views, though he is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists of his time. He wrote an anti-lockdown and anti-mask song with Van Morrison titled "Stand and Deliver" and has stated that he will not perform at venues where vaccines and or masks are required.

According to reports, his net worth stands in the range of $250 million to $450 million.
