I don't know if this counts but Missy Elliott was wearing a very cool t-shirt with Prince's face sprayed onto it during her interview for this year's Hip Hop Honours on MTV. I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

^ I bet in Websheriff/Prince's mind it counts as unauthorized use of Prince's visage...and Websheriff will be demanding compensation and cease & desisting her shortly.  | |
