Beyonce Sues Over Bootlegged CD's

Beyonce Sues Over Bootlegged CD's

Ummm, is she going to sue the ENTIRE city of New York? Because really there are bootlegged CD/movie vendors on every corner of the city!!!

Beyonce has had such a problem with people selling things CDs and merchandising outside her concerts, that she's asking NYC to make it illegal.

Beyonce has filed a federal lawsuit today in New York, alleging that a
pile of shady people have sold knock-off CDs and merchandise in "the
vicinity" of past concerts she's performed around the world.

Beyonce
believes the piracy is bound to happen again -- specifically at her
upcoming concerts at Madison Square Garden on June 21 and 22 -- so
she's asking the court to deem it illegal before the bootlegged booty
hits the streets.

Big deal out of nothing? Or is Beyonce in the right here?  I have to think that if it were my music being sold, I'd be pretty mad too!

Her legs do looks ugly in that picture but we all know that she has nice legs especially of late

I can understand where she is coming from. If you are an artist and create something from your ideas, you wouldn't want someone stealing it and making money of it. Then again, I shouldn't talk because I see pirated movies, download illegal music and don't pay a dime for it. I do it and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Is wrong I know, but I still do it.

Dear Beyonce, Not going to happen! I suggest you get with the times and adapt to 2009. Artists don't make money from CD sales, they make it from tickets. Take note from bands like Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead who work WITH the new system of downloading and torrents and use it to their advantage. Changing times pantyhose, changing times.

Tonight we tried smoking Tailpia http://www.camden.com for the first time and it came out very well. The full recipe is below the before and after pictures. The fish in the smoker, before adding honey and spices: The fish after smoking: Dinner! Recipe This recipe is very simple but surprisingly tasty. It has some sweet, some smoky, and some spice. Arrange the fish on the smoker grate and coat liberally with honey. Then sprinkle on a bit of each of the following:...

A hearing-impaired man is crediting his service dog with saving his life from a fire. Darrin Weeks said his dog Roscoe jumped on the bed Sunday to wake him after a fire broke out in the building of his Orlando duplex. Weeks ran next door, awoke his neighbor and pulled him http://www.wright.com out of the fire.

I'm completely distracted by the panty hose she's wearing with shorts. Ugh! And not to mention open-toed shoes with that....

Does anyone feel bad for her? I DONT. How much money does she have?? There are people out on the streets struggling to eat, some barely making their rent, also struggling to eat and feed their families---This is just shameful. Beyonce stop being a diva. You're overrated anyway!

Isnt the point that its called BOOTLEG mean it is illegal already?

According to reports, her concerts aren't selling well. I doubt if she makes 80 million this year!! I don't feel sorry for this idiot, because she's not the first or last entertainer that will experience counterfeit cds.

I would believe that because her new album was really not that good
It showcased her impeccable singing talents but it was not very entertaining and that is what counts at the end of the day...............So I can totally see how her concerts are not doing well

There is nothing wrong with her being upset about that, she has every right to sue, especially since that is basically the only kind of action she can take unless she kicks their asses
