The jam band Phish is not only kicking off their reunion tour in Virginia this weekend, but the band is also launching a legal battle with bootleg merchandise sellers.
On Thursday, A U.S. District Judge in the federal court in Richmond will consider a request from the band to block the sale of unauthorized shirts, posters, and other paraphernalia at concert events, according to the Associated Press.
The band is scheduled to play three sold-out shows this weekend at Hampton Coliseum.
If the request is approved, police will be able to seize the unlicensed merchandise. The band is also seeking unspecified damages from companies and individuals caught selling the bootleg memorabilia.
