Last night in IndigO2 in London at a Prince aftershow party, a German national was found illicitly recording Prince performing
He had a microphone sewn into a baseball cap with a wire down his back to an inline filter and a high quality recording device
Police were called and a further search found a recording of the main show in The O2
The person had in a bag, tickets for all the remaining Prince shows totally approximately £7,000 in value
All the tickets were cancelled with no hope of a refund
Police in Germany have been asked to conduct a search of the mans residence there
He is expected to be charged this week
Gives you an idea of how hard the industry is cracking down on piracy of live shows, even if you are just recording for yourself
