What's really sad is he keeps doing these things to his fans and yes bootleggers are fans too and fans keep forgiving this dude just thinking the next song will be a gem. The shit never changes and the music is getting worse. Quite frankly, the Controversy concert is the best footage/music ive seen from him in years. | |

Bootlegs been around before him & they'll be around after him. He worries more about bootlegs than putting out GOOD music. Is it cause a controversy show is better than a welcome 2 America one? Idk man. I think he truly has nobody but his music...and maybe Larry graham but that isn't saying much. Agreed | |

Do us a favour & please consider a new word other than 'masterpiece' for 2014. "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Its hard to sue the labels because they are out of the country. The laws in other countries are different then the us about bootlegging.
As for this i kinda have a mix feeling.
I do agree with him sueing because it is his music. I do not agree with it being sites disturbuting the music free. Sueing for a million for lost profits and damages? He is not releasing the music so he is not losing anything. And what kind of damages?
Someone mentions ebay and the sellers on there. I could see that. The selling of the physicals and making money off of his product makes sense. | |

Stop suing fans/bootleggers. Get REAL Minneapolis musicians. Rehearse & record for a year. Drop an album (WITH GOOD MUSIC) randomly AND tour. No twitter. No bs cryptic messages. No shitty half ass websites. | |

I think he should just start releasing shit from the vault... yes i know that's been said a million times. But, people have been, and will be bootlegging for years. He's kept the shit under wraps for so long! he could really make a lot off of it by now.

So, is he suing the people who were making money selling bootlegs on Amazon, or just the fans that buy all the released material and share the bootlegs for free with other fans that buy all the released material?

IDK about performing them live, but if they tried to release it he could sue, and he'd win. Whereas anyone can cover a song without permission as long as they pay royalties and don't alter the arrangement in a meaningful way, they can only do so if the song has been released. If I understand the law correctly, unreleased songs are protected from this and can't be covered without permission.
That said, Elvis Costello performed Moonbeam Levels at that tribute a while back. IDK if he had permission or not. Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'... |

He probably knows because he performed that snippet of "Moonbeam Levels" live soon after the Costello performance.

Another lawsuit once again....???????? Prince 4Ever.  | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
This lawsuit is a waste of time.In this day and age,if something is out there,you should just let it be.Prince's music has been heavily bootlegged since the 80s.There's no point in trying to stop it now | |

(not directly serious but just a thought) Can you countersue?
For providing a basis/platform for indirect income over the years. You can argue (succesfully) that a large portion of his income over the last 20 years found his basis in these recordings. |

To me, this has put the final nail in the coffin for me, regarding Prince!! IF there ever is a UK Tour and IF he ever does Glastonbury(which is fairly near where I live), I couldnt be assed-up bothered to get tickets, like I used to years ago, when I literally scrambled and moved Hell and high water to get tickets!! The setlists of his 3rdEyeShit gigs have all be the same and the performances have all been shitty, sub-standard, crap at the most!! He looks fucking stupid at his age, with his big old fake Afro, being backed by 3 young 30-something female amatuer "musicians"(and I use that term loosely!!), trying OH SO TOO HARD to still stay relevant in todays music!!
What are the fans supposed to upload and share with one another now?? Purple Rain?? Kiss?? Little Red Corvette?? 1999??

I really really fail to see why everybody is getting so upset about this. Y'all are acting like a bunch of spoiled kids whose favorite toy (that you weren't supposed to play with anyway) is being taken away.Prince has been doing this for years. Everybody who's offering bootlegs can expect something like this. Paid or free makes no difference. It's illegal and Prince has never made it a secret how he feels about that. Say whatever you want about it, but stop acting as if it comes as a surprise! And then folks go on to complain about his new music being no good and his live shows suck. Then why would you want a bootleg of it anyway?
