Note to Prince: The internet is feeding the MJ frenzy, duh!

MJ passes and the world is sharing MJ videos and concert clips on Youtube, and emailing photos they found on google. Is this affecting his record sales? Of course not, he's selling out of cd's on Amazon and the he has the top selling singles on itunes.

I think pound for pound Prince is a better performer than Michael, but noone has access to all these great videos because he has blocked them all. This will affect his legacy in the minds of the next generation, and many will never get to see how great Prince was..

Prince doesn't read these forums, darling.

I mean, would you?

Michael's death is important, I agree.
So important, in fact, that there are numerous websites devoted to him.
Even threads on this one devoted to him.
Why not go to one of those?
So why start another one that will just end up locked in a few minutes?

I agree 100%. I addressed this on another thread this past Friday about this very thing. Hopefully, Prince will open his eyes and realize what he's missing out on and what he can gain from this. In the meantime, I'll keep on praying for the dude.

Prince.org is a cemetery where folks mourn Prince instead of celebrate him and his music. Last time I checked, Prince isn't dead yet.

Prince and any other artist that gets paid by royalties are losing money every time one of their videos or songs shows up on the internet without a contract or approval.

I want Prince to get paid so if youtube or anyone else wants to pay him everytime he gets a hit fine. If not I am on Lotusflow3r and I have the stuff on videotape.

These people are having these MJ tributes and they don't have to pay dime one to MJ because he's dead.
