Purple Rumor Mill: Prince reaches Deal with Youtube? This is from Dr FB: http://www.drfunkenberry.com/
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.

What for? If anything, they should be rewarded for bringing his videos to the masses. The problem with this is, once other artists hear of this, what's stopping them asking for the same or similar deal? Then once Youtube can't afford to fund every artist, then the user (ie: us) will end up paying for using Youtube because it will become a subscription base site. Here's an idea, Prince plays ball like everyone else IIRC, last year some groups like LZ, RHChP etc were removed from youtube, because youtube wasn't paying enough to one record company. Here in Czech Republic it was even in the news. Imago: "You look You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. "

YouTube have struck a deal with the Performing Rights Society, which means any artists who are members (which is the majority) will be RIGHTFULLY paid for use of THEIR product by a third-party who are only successful because of the CONTENT. They are already "rewarded" for their apparently altruistic marketing to the masses - you really think they operate for nothing already?

Well he just had 2 of his Montreax vides removed from my favorites over there, so even if he did make an agreement with him. He's gonna be controlling of what is released and why should he release them over there instead of his own website LOTUSFLOW#R??? |

  Maybe he knows that Lotusfuc*3r site isn't good. I've visited that site twice - just to listen to Colonized Mind - and the computer always got stuck..with youtube there're no speed problems. Imago: "You look You know, that kind of super-hot, cuteness that gets a guy raped in prison. "

I can't see Prince changing his mind on his copyright stance, he's fought half of his career for that. But it's just a rumor so far. Time will tell. |

If you look around... you'll find this to be common among a lot of artist. Some of thier videos are 'only' available on thier own YT pages and/or thier labels.
And he should make the videos 'free' to the masses instead of exclusive to the few. I can only hope that Lotusflow3r will still get some 'cough' 'cough' exclusive content... but I'm done holding my breath. Visit my place on MySpace

Fine, if that's the case, then why is this news / so groundbreaking? Because Prince has been a high profile artist demanding that his stuff not be on YT. And now if he has reached an agreement... individually or as part of a whole..... it's a radical shift from his high profile policies of the recent past.

Fine, if that's the case, then why is this news / so groundbreaking? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...234125.stm Perhaps because the deal with PRS is fairly UK specific. That said, Prince is a member of PRS (as I said, most songrwriters are) - so, as a member, if they strike a deal on your behalf to pay for use of your music, you go with it and wait for the paycheque. I knew about it some weeks ago, as I am also a member of PRS and they wrote to all members informing them of the deal. Whether Prince has some individual, exclusive deal with YouTube I do not know - but I do know that as his songs are listed with PRS, the PRS deal ensures that his songs will be played and paid for. ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...

According to some fans with the quality of his material lately Prince should be paying Youtube. |

Prince could've had all the 'worldwide exposure' YouTube offers by just letting users post his videos in the first place, or having an official Prince YouTube channel where he can get one of his underlings to post them. This was just about $$$. | |
