Reports say Bunny is looking $150K for each video uploaded and/or damages he can prove he suffered from, and to be taken down for good.

Fans undying support for their favorite artists is great for the music business. However, there is no denying that it has also its cons, like everything else. Case and point, Bad Bunny's recent run-in with a fan who took posting videos a little too far. According to multiple reports, including TMZ, say that the Puerto Rican superstar is sending a lawsuit toward a man by the name of Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone. He runs a YouTube channel called MADforliveMUSIC which posts all sorts of high-quality videos from concerts from tons of artists. However, Bad Bunny is not too fond of people being able to see his shows for free so he is dropping a lawsuit on the fan.

The hitmaker claims that Eric went to his Salt Lake City, Utah show in late February and filmed several videos from that tour stop. That would be his Most Wanted Tour, which is for his most recent record nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana. The reason why Bunny is suing him is because he says he owns the rights to the live performance music.

Bunny feels that he is doing this to draw more attention off of his name, stealing revenue in the process. However, his attempts at issuing standard takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act did not go as planned. All of the videos, including this one above, are back up on the page due to a counterclaim filed by Eric. Finally, to try and settle this for good Bunny is trying to get an injunction. That would stop the fan completely from uploading any more long-form content. Even worse for the videographer, the multi-talent is looking for $150,000 for each video, or any actual damages Bad Bunny can show he suffered from the postings.
