Tomás Mier - 2h ago Last week, Eric Clapton, 76, won a lawsuit against a woman, known as Gabriele P., whom the musician sued after she posted a listing for a pirated version of his Eric Clapton - Live USA album for $11 on eBay, according to Deutsche Welle. Gabriele claims she was unaware that the CD was pirated and removed the listing a day after posting it.
Clapton's legal team, however, stated that recordings were made illegally and without the rocker's consent, to which the woman responded, "I object and ask you not to harass or contact me any further," adding, "feel free to file a lawsuit if you insist on the demands," The Guardian reported.
The woman appealed after a court ruled in favor of the singer explaining that her late husband had purchased the CD at a store. The judge said that the fact that she didn't acquire the CD herself was irrelevant and ordered her to pay for both parties' legal fees (about $3,900).
