Good article, They actually get it. It's ashamed that most of his fans don't. O well that song is funky. |
Holy crap, look at the picture!
Second Funkiest White Man in America   It sure is nice having adults running our government now |
AWESOME PRINCE!
|
Put it to you like this Prince, if people talking crap about you can get you to make tracks as funky as that, with the Camille voice and everything, then we should all reverse the psychology as much as possible and have little to nothing good to say about you
|
Stupid Internet. Second Funkiest White Man in America It sure is nice having adults running our government now |
Well Karen Avera and Housequake have their 15 minutes of fame anyways, so that's great and I'm sure they are so pleased with themselves |
It took making him mad to get some REALLY OLD SCHOOL FUNK out of him again. Because I wasted $15.00 on Planet Earth. I listened to it for a couple of days and it never really did anything for me. I'll be glad when all this stuff works it self out. I will remain a fan through it all. I don't think any of us will ever understand what goes on with him because he never really explains to us his reasons. Some sort of explaination would be good. But I guess he really doesn't have to explain his self because he's Prince. |
I think chalking all of Prince's fucked-up moves and nutty behavior to merely being a reaction to fans criticizing him is a bit asinine. I just think he's a bit insane and more than a bit of an asshole...but then I've always thought that lol Forever in my life... |

 He doesn't explain himself because then the whole world would see how much he contradicts himself. Some of us "die-hards", figured it out a long time ago, and the rest of us still can't seem to take their rose colored's off when it come to him.....and he knows that.  I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. |
Where's my book on Photoshop 101 when I need it... "Would You Like to Dance With Me We're Doin The Cosmic Slop?" |
I can't believe this. I don't know about the other sites but I know that Prince.org has always been respectful of the Artist. Now I think he's just being a jerk.

I think this is entirely about criticism. Prince's past proves it. He reads the message boards devoted to him, and when people say negative things about him, his actions, or his music, he gets pissed. Why do you think he force fed us his 90's outtakes on the Crystal Ball set?

[Edited 11/9/07 14:26pm] I agree with you. Prince does not like to be called on his crap, whether it's in the form of a song, or his sometimes unreasonable actions. And when he IS called on it, and the person is correct, he gets pissed and take dramatic actions. I'm willing to bet it is the same way in his friendships and romantic relationships as well. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. |

I have to agree. Whgere our comments were censored on the forums at NPGClub, we have the FREEdom to scorn or adore on these fan sites. Gosh, who can forget all that sugary syrup the staff posted about the Artist. _________________________________________

Prince has ALWAYS been heavily criticized on fan websites, big and small...if mere criticism drove his actions he'd never have time to do anything else except react to criticism. Not to mention we can still criticize the little fella all we want even without imagery of Prince or videos or even without posting photos of our Prince tattoos lol ...we'd actually proberly start criticizing him more.
He may not like the criticism of fighting back against his ridiculous lawsuit, but he's not gonna sic a team of lawyers on a website because the members didn't like Planet Earth. Come on now lol... Forever in my life... |
He should just stop reading the damn boards if he's so sensitive to comments. I've learned not to do it now.
|
PfUnk may be a great song, however, Out of a zillion songs, there are a handfull, we as fans, could listen 2 or live without, Only because there are so many styles of emotions to choose from....However, I hope Prince goes back into his velvet think tank, without the worries of bad rumors and streety
Last Night, I spent another lonely Christmas...Darlin' Darlin' U shoulda been there.~Prince. |

Whenever i read stuff like this, I feel like going underground and riding it out or something. "So shall it be written, so shall it be sung..."  |
Does anyone know who “Weemolicious” is? |
well he said that he is going to knock some punks out well that not so JW of him now it is. |
There are naive fans actually praising the song, not realizing Prince is giving them a backhanded compliment. That's your idol letting you know how he really feels about you. |
Knock em' out the box Prince, Knock em' out Prince! |

unkemptpueblo said: From Rollingstone.com
As you may have read, as part of their copyright crusade, Prince’s legal staff recently demanded that all images of the Purple One be removed from specific fan Web pages. Several sites banded together to form Prince Fans United, there was a brief pause in the action and now … a diss track. In response, Prince registered the Web domain name “Princefamsunited.com” and posted a seven-minute funk jam called “PFUnk,” alerting fans to its presence on fan site message boards. The song makes no secret of its target: “The only reason you say my name is to get your fifteen seconds of fame, nobody’s even sure what you do,” Prince sings. “I don’t care what people may say, I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day.” Toward the end, Prince tells his fans, in his famed helium-like “Camille” voice, “I love all y’all, don’t you ever mess with me no more,” before taking out all his anger on his guitar. Prince goes as far as calling one person, likely a member of the PFU, “a big fat punk,” and threatens someone called “Weemolicious” by singing “Look here Weemolicious, you and your boyfriend, lemme tell you somethin’ right now, you run up on me again with words or otherwise, I’mma knock both you punks out.” He also sings that he wants digital music to “disappear.” How did the fans, and the PFU, take to the diss track? With open arms and, surprisingly, dropped jaws. As one poster on the Housequake.com board said, echoing the general response, “It really is head and shoulders above anything on [Planet Earth] or 3121.” Another poster thought they discovered an unearthed B-side from 1987, if not for the topical lyrics. Even the union that gets the brunt of Prince’s bile, the PFU, celebrated the track they helped inspire. Still, the question remains: Why did Prince’s team target specific Web sites and ask for photos of everything from Prince-inspired tattoos to album-cover images to be removed? Could it be that the sites penalized were bootlegging and file sharing concerts, or diverting traffic from Prince’s official site, 3121.com? Avera denies both claims, saying there’s no file sharing on the boards, and that all the sites route traffic to 3121.com when possible. The sites in question claim they were singled out because they operate message boards that are sometimes critical of the star. Prince does have a history of unleashing his purple wrath on online boards: He terminated the NPG Music Club’s message board, an official paid service for diehard fans, shortly after the release of 2001’s Musicology. “I signed in one day, everything was fine,” Karen Avera, spokesperson for PFU and Housequake moderator, said. “The next day I went and everything was gone. No warning.” Avera speculates negative reactions to the album on the board — which is similar to some of the fan criticism Prince’s Planet Earth received just a few months ago — was to blame. The fan sites say they have always cooperated with the Paisley Park lawyers — that is, until now. When fan photos of Prince’s London concert marathon started surfacing on message boards, the lawyers asked that the photos be removed and replaced with shots provided by Prince-hired photographers. The fan sites gladly replaced the pictures. Now, however, the lawyers are demanding those photos be taken down. To date, Housequake.com has not removed the images, and since the site is based in Holland, Avera is unsure of whether the cease-and-desist letters are within their jurisdiction. When Rolling Stone talked to John Giocobbi, the Managing Director of copyright protection agency Web Sheriff, regarding Prince’s battle with YouTube, Giocobbi said, “Prince has always been a very independently minded artist and kind of bold and pioneering in a way. It goes back largely to the kind of promise he had with Warner Bros., when he lost the right to use his own name and then he became The Artist Formerly Known As. And once he recovered his scars from that battle, he was a lot more savvy as a result of that too. And he’s a lot more kind of protective about his rights.” When asked whether the Web Sheriff is just going after illegal bootlegging of Prince videos, Giocobbi admitted that, “In essence we’re going after everything, which is why it’s kind of pioneering.” As far as Avera is concerned, those message boards are going nowhere. “Oh, we’re going to keep the message boards,” Avera promises, “because the boards go far beyond just talking about Prince’s music. It’s a connection where a lot of people worldwide have come together to talk and make friendships.” Despite feeling unappreciated, and the threat of a looming lawsuit, Avera swears that she, and the PFU, will remain Prince fans. “With everything that’s going on, we continue to listen to his music. We’ll continue to buy his music, because we appreciate his music.” <-----BURP, arghhhhh OLD NEWS  If it were not for insanity, I would be a sane man today
So began the mass illusion, war on terror alibi What's the use when the god of confusion keeps on telling the same lie? |

I can aggree and verify some of this statement, Yes Prince has nutured and become bold and defensive, since WB dispute. I have have been on forums since 96 and have never dled any Prince content, like bootlegs or lists.
'The universe is like a giant mechanical clock, and all the cogs are needed 4 it 2 work completely, but who was the watchmaker 2 make such a sophisticated device? Like Prince says 'The moon, the stars, everything plays a part, and they are no accidents'. |

But with pictures i can agree dat is breachin copy right, i mean its basic contractural knowledge. Prince definetly has legal right, to pictures of O2 performances, it is fundemental. So from this somethin more ilegal can develop. Sam 8) How does he have a legal right if notification was not stated until he was 9 mights into the shows? . |
Brilliant Prince. Thumbs up 2 the man. Given his undeniable wit and spontaneity he turned the volume off on Pfu and on to PFunk...(1..2..3.Good Gawd)...the best remedies 4 a basket full of lies is Funk...Gossip again, listen to my drums..listen to my bass.

None have been hosted by this site though, letalone continually posted by members. No grainy videos from YouTube either. Why go after sites with active forums and not sites that specifically host galleries of pictures, many of which are grainy photos taken from concerts? How do album covers fit into as well? Gonna demand that Amazon take those down too? |

Maybe our rebuttal to this should be recording the song and putting it up on a peer to peer sharing service...the one thing we KNOW he hates!!!  --If a man is considered guilty for what goes on in his mind, then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes.-- Electric Chair/Batman/Prince |

Genesia said: Geezuz. Their fact checker much have the day off.
yup  cause I KNOW for a fact [i was there]... there was a thread on HQ about bootleggers taking the exact same videos they were hosting from their site [and it IS possible] and selling them.. posters over there were 'trying to advise' other posters not to support the bootleggers and expressing how upset they were .. I can understand why the Prince camp is after HQ..... but i dont know how the Org ended up in this mess.. |

.
PFU has definitely been doing its work...
Prince is out of his fucking tree crazy -has been for quite some time. But then, that and the diva behaviour and the all-around assholery is just something a person has to come to expect from The Kid. Not that I'm not pissed off about this whole mess, but I can't honestly say I'm surprised. The music's what I'm here for. A person who really doesn't have all their marbles, when surrounded by Yes Men, will try to get away with just about anything. Kick in the teeth though it might be, PFUnk is pretty sweet. We are stardust. We are golden.
Feb. 12th -28th: Two weeks of corporate and nationalistic dick-stroking in the guise of a sporting event. I can not wait. |
happyhappy said:  I dunno, in his defense the song was a fair rebuttal. it must suck to get called out/hated on by a bunch of faceless people on the internet. but in everyone else's defense he has to start coming to a conclusion with this fiasco, i recommend that he listen to his own "resolution" track and take it from there.I guess I agree and yet I disagree... Prince needs to understand that it's the cost of fame...you become "exposed" and opinions are like a$$holes everybody has one...if his ego has become irrevocably bruised then seek some therapy...by the way I will only charge a nominal fee if he's interested...lol but don't get mad at the people who with your "flaws and all" (and we fans have some of our own) not only buy your music but support you when the world thinks you're crazy... While I like the "rebuttal" songs "music"...as for the lyrics...well if you bite the hand that feeds you (or your ego) then you won't get fed anymore right??? whoever's callin' can't be as cute as you...right then and there i knew i was through... |

Some of you all already bought tickets to Jonestown didn't ya? "...I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love...with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night I will steal away into your home...and punch you in the face!" |

Yeah, let's attack HQ again. I think you should check the homepage of prince.org and click on the link for the PFU website. It seems that you have missed a whole lot. Formerly known as Parade @ HQ and formerly proud owner of www.paradetour.com |
Don't we all contradict ourselves all the time though? I fucking do. It's called growing and changing one's opinions based on experience, understanding and desire. But I'm not famous so my contradictions don't get printed in the press. I wouldn't care too much anyway I guess. And as for fame? Fuck that. I don't need it! Warning: this site does contain nuts.
New for 2009! More nuts! |

It seems that you have missed a whole lot. its just thier opinion, freedom of speach what your saying Prince is denying you. Anyway that is the same opinion of mine, how many comments as been left on the PFU site err under 2000 last i looked, thats a lot of Prince fans isnt it. Admit it Prince is Laughing at you oh and my other opinion is Housequake is shafting the other sites involved just to get what they want. Cause i all i hear is how Housequake is in talks with Princes people what about the other sites no mention of them in talks or am i missing something. |

First of all, go here and read http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-a.html It's an easy read, so read it all. The question is, does the org cross the line of fair use of images and content? Well, I don't know. Let's look. Would I have ever came here in the first place if it were not called prince dot org?

And here we have Prince singing they are, while at the same time releasing a statement to the press that says that this site is phoney and its owner a pirate who's in it to make major cash. And this is the type of thing you want to support? Interesting. "this especially prepared potato is called pomme de terre" |
i’ve only just found out what ‘fams’ means..so this is how Prince treats his family?? as much as he’s such a fantastic musician,singer and perfomer he lives on another planet and he just doesn’t know how to treat those around him.. and now he’s completely undoing all the good he’s done over the last few months..it’s such a shame..

the track; absolutely fantastic, i can’t stop listening to it…but the lyrical intentions absolutely suck…so all the fams are picking on/using him… oh let’s all feel sorry for Prince…grow you silly man… what would happen if all these people you’re trying to censor, control and manipulate stop buying your records and concert tickets… everytime you start doing really well you then do something to totally alienate everyone, particulary those who love and support you and your work..we’ve been here before haven’t we? but this time you’ve gone way too far.. this sounds just like a scene out of Purple Rain doesn’t it? Yeah, Prince laid out his definition of "fams" a few years back. "Fams" are people that absolutely agree with everything Prince says or does. "Fams" are the ones that even now support him in his ridiculous crusade against fan sites that primarily keep his name out there to be discussed. "Fams" are people that get sucked in and because Prince dusted off his "Camille" voice, popped a bass a few times and did a little solo think that "DAMN!!!! HE TOLD THEM!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!! IN YOUR FACE, PFU!!!!" "Fams" quite simply are purple sheep that blindly follow their shepherd whereever he may lead them. Even if it's off a purple cliff. http://www.myspace.com/butterscotchpimp

After listening to the track a few more times, I think it's true that the song is not directed to fans, but to Perez Hilton, as stated by another orger on some other thread. A look at the lyrics certainly backs that up as he seems to be addresing one person in particular, not a "community".

hilton02895 said: I really think Prince is losing his mind. What harm have we done him? We still run out and buy his perfumes, concert tickets, and albums. I can't dig his negative vibe.
It all stems from that mind-numbing, intellect-choking, behavior-warping, bane-of-mankind elixir traditionally known as "organized" religion... There's no other explanation for this nonsense from this dude... I knew the minute he started changing lyrics to his old jams to express religious characters and themes, we as fans OF HIS MUSIC, were in for some bullsh*t... That's one on my biggest problems with people who go "holy" (whatevea the frick that's 'sposed to mean), they become 12-pound-road-lizard crazy with some bizarre brand of fanaticism; sleeping in sterilized chambers, dissin' old friends & fam, or start talking about sh*t like "staros" at they live gigs... I WILL alwayz continue to enjoy Prince's MUSIC, but dude can take his tired religious fanatic pimp-game and stick it right in between the holes on them notorious pants of his... I'm through with this crazy sh*t. |
happyhappy said: I dunno, in his defense the song was a fair rebuttal. it must suck to get called out/hated on by a bunch of faceless people on the internet. but in everyone else's defense he has to start coming to a conclusion with this fiasco, i recommend that he listen to his own "resolution" track and take it from there.I hear you, but no artist is ever going to put out an album that is above criticism, you can never please all of the people all of the time, and as consumers people have the write to critique the album all the want. You have to develop thick skin and get used to that kind of behavior from people in the music business and life in general. This man has been in the business for over 25 years, I truly question whether mere criticism of a record is what really prompted all of this. |
VelvetJ said: lspear76 said: I think this is entirely about criticism.
[Edited 11/9/07 14:26pm] I agree with you. Prince does not like to be called on his crap, whether it's in the form of a song, or his sometimes unreasonable actions. And when he IS called on it, and the person is correct, he gets pissed and take dramatic actions. I'm willing to bet it is the same way in his friendships and romantic relationships as well. So true. Could it be he has barely any friends left because he quickly gets rid of the ones that try to criticize him? Could it be that both of his marriages didn't work, because his wifes started to question his actions?
Even in his songs he likes to blame others, while it's never his fault. My advice for Prince: Instead of sueing and getting rid of everybody who dares to criticize you, you should take a long hard look at the man in the mirror!! love the one who is Love! |
Ellie said: He should just stop reading the damn boards if he's so sensitive to comments. I've learned not to do it now.
I happen to like Planet Earth, so I didn't bother with the negative threads on the album. I like a lot of you guys here, so I'm now trying to stay out of any Jacko topics where you all tear him down. It took me a while to learn to block out the negativity, but I assume someone like Prince who has better and more exciting things to do than spend hours online every other night shouldn't be taking it to heart as much. well said.....

I have encountered such threats from businesses in where I have used their business names and logos in works of art and design. I have had personal letters show up in the mail as well as cease and desist emails. I have folded at times, and at other times I have not. and this 2, shall pass. |
Why oh why was that put-down of a song placed on the protest website? Prince must be laughing his ass off. He knows some of his fans are so obsessed that they will hand him their self respect just to get some attention from him. Is there a reason that the PFU folks didn't tell Paisley Park to stuff it when given this track? I mean, c'mon. He's completely insulting ya'll and you help him by sucking up at every turn. Makes me question the "mission" of PFU if they can't even stand up and do the right thing this early in the game.

People are logging in here saying the Prince is a hypocrite, well, at least he's sticking to his guns. How hypocritical is it for PFU to, on one hand, complain that Prince is treating them like crap, and on the other hand, to post his rant against them? It's almost like an abusive relationship at this point and I just don't get it. Could someone please explain the logic to me? If that song is an "insult", then i'm missing something. It's barely a "response". It's posted because in the fairness to everyone that's not spending every hour on the hour checking, reading and responding to every single post, article or thread, it's easier to go to the site and read what's current news. Posting that track was just that. Current news. His only "response" i might add. Most people (that aren't fams) are laughing at the fact that Prince would call that "a response". http://www.myspace.com/butterscotchpimp

ben said: Just a comment about some words upthread a ways...
for the purposes of this situation, HQ, PrinceFams, and prince.org are united with a singular purpose to make Prince call off the lawyerly dogs and respect our Constitutional rights. There are of course differences among the sites and what we each offer, past and present, but I don't want to see any anti-HQ or anti-PrinceFams arguments unless you're conversant in the full facts, which, because we haven't (yet) released the C&Ds and other emails, no one outside the PFU folks and our counsel truly are. Please guys, stay focused on the macro issues right now. There's plenty of time to debate the minutae when everything comes out in the wash, but right now if you can avoid speculating about the details, it would be appreciated. Still, you're free to discuss anything you like (this IS prince.org after all, and that's the point of the forums!) but your solidarity is helpful to our efforts right now, is all. Thanks! Good luck with your stance and just to let you know its not only in the USA that these cease and desist threats are abrogating peoples rights. Those same rights are in danger in the UK, albeit without a written constitution Trying to force people to remove material that they don't own is as wrong as publishing material you don't own I think someone got cowboys instead of sheriffs Thank you for taking a stand That takes guts |

Anyway that is the same opinion of mine, how many comments as been left on the PFU site err under 2000 last i looked, thats a lot of Prince fans isnt it. Admit it Prince is Laughing at you oh and my other opinion is Housequake is shafting the other sites involved just to get what they want. Cause i all i hear is how Housequake is in talks with Princes people what about the other sites no mention of them in talks or am i missing something. I think what she was trying to say that is in light of the current events, what is the point of posting a dig at housequake. Karen Avera is speaking on behalf of all three sites, not just housequake. The negotiations are for all three sites, not just housequake. In fact, if you read alot more of the press interviews, prince.org is mentioned by the spokesperson as well. remember this fight is on behalf of THREE sites, not just housequake |

ButterscotchPimp said: seagoblin said: i’ve only just found out what ‘fams’ means..so this is how Prince treats his family?? as much as he’s such a fantastic musician,singer and perfomer he lives on another planet and he just doesn’t know how to treat those around him.. and now he’s completely undoing all the good he’s done over the last few months..it’s such a shame..
the track; absolutely fantastic, i can’t stop listening to it…but the lyrical intentions absolutely suck…so all the fams are picking on/using him… oh let’s all feel sorry for Prince…grow you silly man… what would happen if all these people you’re trying to censor, control and manipulate stop buying your records and concert tickets… everytime you start doing really well you then do something to totally alienate everyone, particulary those who love and support you and your work..we’ve been here before haven’t we? but this time you’ve gone way too far.. this sounds just like a scene out of Purple Rain doesn’t it? Yeah, Prince laid out his definition of "fams" a few years back. "Fams" are people that absolutely agree with everything Prince says or does. "Fams" are the ones that even now support him in his ridiculous crusade against fan sites that primarily keep his name out there to be discussed. "Fams" are people that get sucked in and because Prince dusted off his "Camille" voice, popped a bass a few times and did a little solo think that "DAMN!!!! HE TOLD THEM!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!! IN YOUR FACE, PFU!!!!" "Fams" quite simply are purple sheep that blindly follow their shepherd whereever he may lead them. Even if it's off a purple cliff.
No...that's YOUR definition of the term "fam" and you use it as a derogatory term. The way you point your finger at "them" says alot about you. and for the record, IF in fact Pfunk is defending freedom of speech then I am 100% behind them but as someone else pointed out I believe the truth is somewhere in the middle. My guess is it is more about images and actual content rather than just typing his name or hindering actual discussion. But we will see.....worst case scenario, Prince is trying to stifle all discussion about him...that will suck and Prince will be an asshole for it but am I gonna get all pissed off about it? NO, why? because I am able to separate myself from a situation that really has no bearing on my real life. I will just go listen to some of his music and not sit and bitch about how my favorite musician is not my favorite human being. damn it! I had a great quote from george washington but it doesn't fit here. |
Having been ripped off by NPG music club and the DRM certifcate making all the good music unplayable when he shut the damn site down. I am just totally hacked off with his approach to fans an people who do things in good faith.

unkemptpueblo said: From Rollingstone.com
Prince is bored and needs to get married and have some babies before he turns 70, kick the bucket and leaves all his money to his greedy lawyers. As far as his music, I can take it or leave it. Real life is more important to me, not some music cd from a man who sounds unhappy. As you may have read, as part of their copyright crusade, Prince’s legal staff recently demanded that all images of the Purple One be removed from specific fan Web pages. Several sites banded together to form Prince Fans United, there was a brief pause in the action and now … a diss track. In response, Prince registered the Web domain name “Princefamsunited.com” and posted a seven-minute funk jam called “PFUnk,” alerting fans to its presence on fan site message boards. The song makes no secret of its target: “The only reason you say my name is to get your fifteen seconds of fame, nobody’s even sure what you do,” Prince sings. “I don’t care what people may say, I ain’t gonna let it ruin my day.” Toward the end, Prince tells his fans, in his famed helium-like “Camille” voice, “I love all y’all, don’t you ever mess with me no more,” before taking out all his anger on his guitar. Prince goes as far as calling one person, likely a member of the PFU, “a big fat punk,” and threatens someone called “Weemolicious” by singing “Look here Weemolicious, you and your boyfriend, lemme tell you somethin’ right now, you run up on me again with words or otherwise, I’mma knock both you punks out.” He also sings that he wants digital music to “disappear.” How did the fans, and the PFU, take to the diss track? With open arms and, surprisingly, dropped jaws. As one poster on the Housequake.com board said, echoing the general response, “It really is head and shoulders above anything on [Planet Earth] or 3121.” Another poster thought they discovered an unearthed B-side from 1987, if not for the topical lyrics. Even the union that gets the brunt of Prince’s bile, the PFU, celebrated the track they helped inspire. Still, the question remains: Why did Prince’s team target specific Web sites and ask for photos of everything from Prince-inspired tattoos to album-cover images to be removed? Could it be that the sites penalized were bootlegging and file sharing concerts, or diverting traffic from Prince’s official site, 3121.com? Avera denies both claims, saying there’s no file sharing on the boards, and that all the sites route traffic to 3121.com when possible. The sites in question claim they were singled out because they operate message boards that are sometimes critical of the star. Prince does have a history of unleashing his purple wrath on online boards: He terminated the NPG Music Club’s message board, an official paid service for diehard fans, shortly after the release of 2001’s Musicology. “I signed in one day, everything was fine,” Karen Avera, spokesperson for PFU and Housequake moderator, said. “The next day I went and everything was gone. No warning.” Avera speculates negative reactions to the album on the board — which is similar to some of the fan criticism Prince’s Planet Earth received just a few months ago — was to blame. The fan sites say they have always cooperated with the Paisley Park lawyers — that is, until now. When fan photos of Prince’s London concert marathon started surfacing on message boards, the lawyers asked that the photos be removed and replaced with shots provided by Prince-hired photographers. The fan sites gladly replaced the pictures. Now, however, the lawyers are demanding those photos be taken down. To date, Housequake.com has not removed the images, and since the site is based in Holland, Avera is unsure of whether the cease-and-desist letters are within their jurisdiction. When Rolling Stone talked to John Giocobbi, the Managing Director of copyright protection agency Web Sheriff, regarding Prince’s battle with YouTube, Giocobbi said, “Prince has always been a very independently minded artist and kind of bold and pioneering in a way. It goes back largely to the kind of promise he had with Warner Bros., when he lost the right to use his own name and then he became The Artist Formerly Known As. And once he recovered his scars from that battle, he was a lot more savvy as a result of that too. And he’s a lot more kind of protective about his rights.” When asked whether the Web Sheriff is just going after illegal bootlegging of Prince videos, Giocobbi admitted that, “In essence we’re going after everything, which is why it’s kind of pioneering.” As far as Avera is concerned, those message boards are going nowhere. “Oh, we’re going to keep the message boards,” Avera promises, “because the boards go far beyond just talking about Prince’s music. It’s a connection where a lot of people worldwide have come together to talk and make friendships.” Despite feeling unappreciated, and the threat of a looming lawsuit, Avera swears that she, and the PFU, will remain Prince fans. “With everything that’s going on, we continue to listen to his music. We’ll continue to buy his music, because we appreciate his music.” |

Shorty said: NO, why? because I am able to separate myself from a situation that really has no bearing on my real life.
Prince hasn't been my favorite human being since ... well, I'm not sure he ever was my favorite human being. Look, I really don't give a shit about what type of person prince is, as long as he brings the music and the shows. Where I draw the line tho is when he starts to limit my rights as an individual. The internet is the most important medium that we have, because normal people like you and me get to create it, and we get to talk back. The traditional powers that be don't like that, they just want us to consume whatever type of crap they feel like unloading on us, and beyond that we get to sit down and shut the fuck up. It could be your position that this is just Prince, a guy with a guitar, doing this. But it is a matter of principal and precedent. The internet is still evolving quickly, and so far the only people making the laws about what we can and cannot do on the net are written by traditional industry. It's time that normal people like us push back a bit. This is not about Prince for me, it's about making clear that we will not have fundamental rights further eroded simply because someone wants to make a few more dollars.

Good for you. So you never criticize your loved ones, even when they need it? I know Im one of the po people hes talking about but he says he loves me anyway.
Now this is the type of brainwashed cultish stuff Prince has cultivated in his "fams." You are certainly poor if your worth exists in the eyes of Prince loving you "anyway." I'll never b rich enough to b the fan I wish I could b but I can say Ive seen a true master musician in my lifetime!
You'll never be rich enough to be the fan you wish to be? What does the amount of money you have have to do with being a fan? I dont have enough money to buy his perfume either....nor do I wish to.....nor do I think Im any less of a fan because of it. Nor did I agree with Prince when he used to call out the NPGMC members in the front row of the concert and then guilt trip everyone else in the venue for being "so far away." We're in the nosebleed section because we're normal people who can't afford your expensive clubs and tickets, Prince. That dosnt mean we're less devoted. In fact this entire discussion of devotion is making me sick. If Im not devoted to Prince come hell or high water, so what? At the end of the day, he's just a singer. And I have my own life: marriage, studies, and problems to deal with. Prince takes his seat in the back. Love his music, but I think he has serious problems if he thinks PFUnk is going to make us cry. My name is Nep....and I am funky...when it comes to Nep...you are a JUNKIE! Hurt me!  |

hollywooddove said: I love this org., but I am about to become black balled I fear.
First of all, go here and read http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-a.html It's an easy read, so read it all. The question is, does the org cross the line of fair use of images and content? Well, I don't know. Let's look. Would I have ever came here in the first place if it were not called prince dot org? No. It was the name of it that drew me here, and so it was his name that did this. His images and his words sells magazines and cd's. When this happens, circulations make revenue simply based on his work. Many times he does not get paid for it. Well, fair use of copyright law creates a safe haven for publications to use limited amounts of his image in their magazines. The four factors judges consider are: the purpose and character of your use the nature of the copyrighted work the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and the effect of the use upon the potential market. http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter9/9-b.html Does the org abuse any of these principles? I believe that purpose and character are okay here, I think the nature of the copyrighted work is also okay here, I do, however think that the amount of content, and in that, the amount of images and such, could be in question, simply because OF the effect of the use on the potential market. If you are an artist, and you have ever had someone else make money off of your labor or gain recognition for your work, then you would understand how hurt feelings, anger, and law suits are so prevailant in this business. Yes, but the law as it stands before the internet of today are OLD and need to be revised or need new laws to protect the copyrights of musicians / artists. There is freedom of speech and libel laws. So they need to be reworked so everyone is happy and no one feels abused. Right now it is not balanced and hence we are having issues. Prince: .... shut up already, damn! |

And as far as the speculation of the PFUnk cut being an olive-branch type of offering, I think the lyric, "I love all y'all ... don't mess with me no more," was casually tossed in as a face (and potential future income) saving afterthought... Prince's REAL sentiments are probably more accurately portrayed by the "don't mess with me" lyric and his recent fan-contemptuous behaviors... Yeah, the music is great -- including the PFUnk jam -- but that don't make up for, or excuse this dudes action toward the very people who have been instrumental in his success... Somebody needs a freakin' ego or reality check. |
This is all a part of his Napoleon complex.....
Youth is wasted on the young ..... |
well i said that would b the last I would say, but reading all the comments after mine, I just had one more thing to say. The obvious name they picked for princefansunited, wasnt that just as much a slap in the face, as if they were saying to Prince pFu, f**k u. This song is just what i expected. Anyway Peace and Love to yall Love is whatever u want it 2 b |

Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing a type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people who are physically short. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. This term is also known as Napoleon syndrome and Small Man syndrome. [Edited 11/15/07 10:05am] Being all of 5'7 I'd like to say that sometimes a short person's issue has nothing to do with his size. Every once in a while you'll find a person that is just an asshole, this whole PFUNK situation being a perfect example.

I don't REALLY get some of these fans. I don't understand you peeps and the logic. "That ?rince dis song was funky yet he disses us "his fans" in it and I STILL support him." What kinda shit is that? He is "suing" the fan sites.
Q:When will P.F.U.n.k or F.U.N.K. be de-F.U.N.K.T?
"My name is ?rince and I am F.U.N.K.ely suing you po', cancerous punx." Excuse me...who are you again? |
|
I like P's music. I like to come to the org and talk about the music. I don't really give a flying fart about his personal life or how he runs his business. So now he is going to sue the sites, which endangers them. If the site is shut down, then I can't talk about the music with fans. That cramps my style.
and this 2, shall pass. |

[Edited 11/9/07 14:26pm] I agree with you. Prince does not like to be called on his crap, whether it's in the form of a song, or his sometimes unreasonable actions. And when he IS called on it, and the person is correct, he gets pissed and take dramatic actions. I'm willing to bet it is the same way in his friendships and romantic relationships as well. I agree. I'm beginning to see that shit too! I agree with one other fan that said, "Prince, just shut up and play!" I'm enjoying the track though! I love it when anger can bring out some of the genius and best in artist! "Shut up, and play Prince!" |

And, then there are times when he says too much! I'm one of the ones who'd love to see him support other artists from the 80s and vice versa. It's like now, it's every man for himself! It tripped me the hell out when he would speak his mind concerning other artists, but when fans speak their mind on him, he's sensitive. Poetic Justice, I guess. I'm listening to PFunk right now and the shit makes me too mutherfuckin' happy. Cause, he got pissed and put his pisstation in his music! It's a fuckin' masterpiece to me! I hope he continues to get pissed, cause I'm loving this track!!!! In the words of another artist, I won't name: GIMME MORE, PRINCE! GIMME MORE!!!!! |

hesoldnow said: It took making him mad to get some REALLY OLD SCHOOL FUNK out of him again.
that's typical prince. remember that drivel that was the GOLD EXPERIENCE, or whatever? how he made it seem like it was this great wondrous piece that WB was trying to shelve? come to find out, their marketing guys were right. it was crap. two -- maybe three -- quality tunes out there. that's it. and one of them -- billy jack bitch -- was a response song to a particular reviewer who wasn't "yes ma'am" enough for prince and dared have an opinion contrary to what Prince felt was 'right'. when prince is angry -- or sad -- he writes better music. conflict creates art. the more 'at peace' he is, the more bland and dull and lifeless his material becomes. do i need proof? we've 10 years of it. But I guess he really doesn't have to explain his self because he's Prince.
actually, he hasn't produced a song to warrant this kind of free-for-all-do-whatever-you-want-and-that's-okay-because-you're-prince attitude, imo. not in damn near 20 years. and we're supposed to believe that prince wants to give his fans exclusive photos and music, when he's PROVEN TO US time and time again that he cannot manage to do that. (by the way, i never did get my CRYSTAL BALL when i fuckin' pre-ordered it on his site, nor did i get a refund.) this is all about greed. i don't care what anyone says. he doesn't want fans networking, because he can't control that network. he can wrap it up in as much legal mumbo-jumbo and false promises all he wants. but let's call a spade, a spade: he wants us to HAVE to go to whatever hack-kneed nonsense web shit he comes up with next. he wants us to pay for another LIFETIME membership without giving us reparations when the site proves to not last a 'lifetime'. he wants us to follow him around and pay by his rules (the word choice is not a misspelling by the way--it was intentional) so that he can continually milk the fans he got, because he's hardly making new fans, is he? PLANET EARTH and MUSICOLOGY may have been in the upper half of the charts, but they've yet to sell a million. Let's face it. HQ, and prince.org and princefans handle fan-based business better than he could ever manage. He's proven this. And he's envious of it. Jealous of it. And I, for one, am sick of it. Prince music used to have value. I've bought Lovesexy and Sign o' the Times probably four or five times each. I'm notorious for losing stuff. But, I didn't mind repurchasing it -- even at inflated prices -- because it was WORTH it. I'd gladly pay it again, a hundred times over. Musicology? My mom bought that for me as a present. I've since lost it; i won't be buying it again. Prince's opinion on digital music 'disappearing' is more proof that he is a relic. Digital music doesn't fade -- bad music fades. 1-800-NEW-FUNK, anyone? I've digital files in my 5 yr old 50gb Seagate harddrive that has been with me the entire time. I value that as much as I do the 4000+ vinyl collection I amassed as a dj. Prince can't understand that? That's his problem. I hope these court cases bleed the fucker dry. I hope he has to close Paisley Park. I hope his next tours flop, his next albums flop (which is more than likely), and his next website crashes. I hope he gets the message that you can't claim to like your fans and then treat them like this. Look at what Radiohead did, prince... and call me when you wake up. You want my $15 a cd? You want my $100 for a ticket to see your old ass NOT do the splits anymore? You want my $20 bones for a shirt... $15 for a calendar...? You want my money for a lifetime membership at some half-assed website, designed by first-year web designer interns? Then you better fuckin' learn to start showing me some fuckin' respect. Jesus taught you that much, I'm sure. As for me, I'm done giving Prince the benefit of the doubt, just because he wrote killer songs 20 years ago. That's no excuse to be an asshole.

I love Prince, but aren't there bigger targets or causes to take-on rather than his fans? I don't think any of us are trying to be famous, using his name, are we? I don't get it. This is just a discussion group. I don't think anyone is getting any privileges or making some big bucks by talking about Prince?

Cataclizm1 said: Does anyone know who “Weemolicious” is?
It's "weave-a-licious", as in "ghetto fabulous". The term didn't originate from Prince. Fits right in with "fat" and "po" though.  "After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill...the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill...you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." |
