Prince has dropped the 22 million dollars lawsuit against 22 Facebook and Blogger users for "massive infringement and bootlegging" of his material.

According to the Verge, the American singer's lawyer issued a statement confirming that he had dropped the suit less than two weeks after initially filing it in the Northern District of California, as the recent pressure has made the bootleggers take down the illegal downloads and are no longer engaging in piracy, TMZ reported.

The statement also asked fans to get material straight from Prince through legal channels, not from "third parties who are scalpers rather than real fans of our work".
