As we know, AC/DC are going on tour this year. Well, the band is already taking precautions so that they make as much money as humanly possible (they were the second-most-lucrative touring act last year, behind only the Taylor Swift). According to TMZ, they have filed a federal lawsuit to stop bootleggers from selling their unofficial merch on the upcoming tour. If they were to win the lawsuit, they would essentially have the authority to direct police to confiscate and shut down sellers of bootleg merchandise. Given the ubiquity of AC/DC shirts, that might be an uphill battle. But we’ll see what happens with the lawsuit first. If they lose the lawsuit, sounds like they might need some DIRTY DEEDS DONE DIRT–ok, I’ll stop.

Their tour hits NYC on April 4 at MSG. That show is sold out.
