The pop artist Prince has filed a lawsuit against 22 people that he accused of engaging in “massive infringement and bootlegging of Prince’s material.”

The lawsuit, which was filed in the Northern District of California, alleges that the defendants posted links on a Blogger or Facebook page where “unauthorized copies of the performance can be downloaded.”

Those links often included bootleg recordings of performances in 2011, 2002, and even as far back as 1983. According to Prince’s 22-page complaint, only two out of the entire 22 named defendants are known so far. One of the unknown defendants, Doe 2 (aka “DaBang319”) appeared to have a website with nothing but unauthorized recordings. However, the site curiously includes this proviso: “Never pay for unauthorized recordings. Support artists by buying their official releases.”

On Twitter, DaBang319 appeared to mock the entire court case: “Guess some1 needs a whole lot more of those 'Funky Dollar Bills.'”

The court did issue a summons to the two people, Dan Chodera and Karina Jindrova, who reside in France and the Czech Republic respectively. Given their residency abroad, it may take some time for the defendants to be served.

In the past, Prince has taken a hard line against unauthorized recordings and even against fan sites. His label, Universal Music, also famously filed a takedown of a Prince song being played over a baby video on YouTube, which resulted in a lawsuit that the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed against Universal in 2012.

The suit was filed on Jan. 16 and first reported today on TorrentFreak.
