Lee Hurst, a pris le téléphone d’un gars dans l’audiance et l’a éclaté. Au tribunal, il a expliqué qu’il pensait que le gars en question notait (en SMS) ses gags pour les lui voler et les revendre à la BBC ou pour les mettre sur Youtube. Un truc qui lui était déjà arrivé.
He said he did so because he believed it was being used to film his performance at the Stoke Pub in Guildford, Surrey.
The comedian claimed in court that there was a growing problem with writers recording rival comics’ material so that they could pirate their jokes and sell them to television shows. He claimed that footage of his gigs ended up on websites such as YouTube.
“TV programmes have writers writing for the performers and they go around to gigs and take the material and sell it to the BBC and ITV and that material is gone,” said Hurst, who defended himself.
Pourtant. Je parie que dans son salon, Lee Hurst a une télé.
Et qu’il la regarde.
