There are some very interesting sentences in the Guardian article proving that E. C. is simply so greedy that he's chasing money everywhere.
1. She told the court that the listing was removed after one day. So case closed, then why keeping harassing her ?
2. Lawyers for the 76-year-old rock star pursued the case, and sent a Düsseldorf regional court an affidavit stating that the recordings were illegal and made without Clapton’s consent. We want your money you bad woman is what stands behind this.
3. 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. Along with a number of other major artists and record companies, over a number of years Eric Clapton has, through German lawyers, successfully pursued hundreds of bootleg cases in the German courts under routine German copyright procedures. We found a way to turn plastic into gold and we will never stop.
This third point clearly shows that when a bootleg appears, they won't let go and that they are chasing this. And they includes E. C. himself.
Sorry @skankdelvar, and with all the respect I have for you, but even if a bootleg sold can lead to jurisprudence, jurisprudence is not the law, but the application of the law under some very precise circumstances. So unless, these very specific circumstances are met again, selling a bootleg or unauthorised items is and will always be an infringement.
