Beyonce Sues Pirates over Bootlegged Booty

Posted Jun 17th 2009 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

Beyonce Turns out you don't have to actually know who you're suing to file a lawsuit, because Beyonce is going after a bunch of John and Jane Does for hawking fake goods at her concerts.

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.

33. I hope people really do boycott Perez's sight. people have been
giving him too much clout. the main stream media should be boycotted
also. the man has yet been laid to rest & all you hear are about are
the negative ALLEGATIONS. However, we KNOW Woody Allen left his wife
and kids to be with his daughter & Elvis slept with a 14 year old.
Who's the KNOWN pedophile?!? Have we applied the same amount of
media attention to those KNOWN PEDOPHILES???!!!???

They couldn't kill his rep and impact in life and now their trying to
in death. Let him rest in PEACE.

Transformers 2 was so racist-not just because of the robots. It was
also too long. I saw the 1st one 3 x's and bought the DVD. I was
looking forward to seeing this sequel since forever. What a
disappointment. Some fight scenes were great but the movie was crap.
