Why Is Beyonce Suing The Pirates?!

By The Urban Daily June 18, 2009 4:15 pm

VIA YBF:

And Beyonce is suing the pirates.  Not the ones on the boats, the ones bootlegging her ish outside her concerts.  B and Pappy Knowles want to crack down on piracy and is now suing anyone who is selling fake cds and tickets and B paraphenalia outside her concerts.  According to TMZ:

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.

    What’s all of the noise about Black people…if it were your sales…you would be upset too. That’s what is so sickening about our race…we never seem to know when to stand up and fight. Often too, we are our own worse enemies. Factually speaking, we certainly have mastered the art of knowing when NOT to speak up and it often gets our black butts in a whole lot of trouble. This is not our battle. Let Bee do what she believes is her divine right. She has worked hard to get to where she is and if she is planning to stay there…FIGHT! is what she SHOULD do.
    Black people, black people!!!!

    No, Southern Girl you need to shut the hell up, with your country azz!! She is going after them and she should. Besides, this is the beginning of many more people getting involved and putting a stop to it once and for all. It’s wrong to steal money from people by bootlegging and to sell fake tickets! (I don’t know why I have to say that!)
