JACK U OFF done by Pansy Division

Did they have "permission" or Prince's "blessing" to do this cover?

Especially since it was a single...with balls on the pic sleeve...

ya know..i still havent recieved a definitive answer on copyright rules...

now i know you need permission to use the original work for a commercial. and i think you even need permission to use a cover of a song by another artist (for commercial purposes)...

but, do you need authorization to cover a song and release it? or is that covered under parody rights?

anyone anyone?

Pansy has some great tunes. Ring Of Joy is hilarious. I haven't heard Jack U Off though. I might have to get Pileup.
If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
