The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer takes legal action against a German woman who listed an illegal copy of an Eric Clapton CD online, which once belonged to her late husband.
Key points:The widow claimed her late husband bought the CD in the 80s from a storeThe 76-year-old guitarist has successfully sued the woman for listing a bootleg copy of one of his CD online for $15, German media reports.
The 55-year-old widow said her late husband told her he had purchased it in 1987 at a well-known department store. The woman has been ordered to pay the legal fees of both parties, which has reportedly totalled approximately $5,370. Clapton's manager, Michael Eaton, told the Guardian: "Germany is a country where sales of bootleg and counterfeit CDs are rife, which damages the industry and customers with poor quality and misleading recordings."
