Prince drops copyright lawsuit against bloggers accused of sharing concert footage online

Prince has dropped the federal copyright infrignement lawsuit he filed less than two weeks ago seeking $22 million from 22 bloggers who allegedly posted his songs online illegally.

The 55-year-old music legend filed the lawsuit on January 16 in a US federal district court in San Francisco seeking $1 million from each blogger for allegedly distributing concert footage.

The alleged bootleggers had been accused in the lawsuit of using Facebook and Google's Blooger to link to live concert recordings without permission from Prince.

ALL PRINCE BOOTLEGS ARE ILLEGAL
