A lawsuit filed in Massachusetts federal court Thursday by representatives of Prince’s Estate alleges that Massachusetts-based Kian Andrew Habib, known on YouTube as PersianCeltic, committed copyright infringement by uploading six live concert videos to YouTube.
The videos appear to be bootleg recordings from a December 2013 limited three-night run at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The songs at issue in the lawsuit include: “Nothing Compares 2 U,” “Take Me With U,” “Glam Slam,” “Sign o’ the Times,” “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” and “Hot Thing.” Habib has less than 500 subscribers on YouTube at the time of the lawsuit, but has amassed over 25,000 followers on Twitter under the same PersianCeltic username where he frequently tweeted out links to the live concert videos between 2013 and 2017, such as this tweet from February:
His Twitter timeline also reveals he attended the concert on December 27, 2013, tweeting “On the way to see the legend Prince tonight!
