the internet is completely over... Dont know if this has been discussed, but prince is completely and utterly wrong on this one. The internet is the best thing to happen ever imo. Don't you? Why is he such a technophobe I just dont get it... Baby, you're a star.

People are forgetting that he said the internet was over for artists to make money off of. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

Loook at that app VINE and those 16 year old dorks who have no talent making millions.... The internet is not dead, and it's making more idiots rich...
However it is leading PRINCE into obscurity when he keeps removing his ART and TALENT and VISIBILITY to the world. | |

Prince said that when he had an album to promote. It got a lot of headlines and people found out he had an album out and it probably helped sales. Don't believe everyone someone says to the media. | |

Wasn't it true that many music artists felt they weren't getting good profit deals on streaming their work? In fact just last week you had Apple music willed into action by Taylor Swift to go ahead and pay the artists for the 3 month trail period where millions will be getting their music.

I'm sick of people saying "the Internet is the best thing ever" (no offense). You know what, the internet needs to DIE! #FuckTheInternet But oh the irony with my statement and what I'm obviously using to make my statement ”The people that will end up defining ‘Hate Speech Laws’ are the very people you don’t want to define the Hate Speech Laws” — Jordan B Peterson | |

This was a glib, throwaway comment he made in an interview 5 years ago. We may a well be talking about how Interactive is an out of date computer program that shouldn't be released in 2015. | |

He also proclaimed 'Prince is Dead' at one point. Don't believe everything Prince says & don't let it worry you.
It's best to act like he never said it, just like he does. [Edited 7/5/15 23:50pm] | |

This is correct in terms of music and what he meant. Sales are low and Prince does not like low sales.
I don't know why people still think he meant the net is dead as a whole, check out the whole interview. This reminds me of the horrible yahoo and fox news head lines like :
Bigfoot Found!.......to be an interesting subject by many people.

CynicKill said: The internet might not be dead, but it sure is doing a lot of killing. It's also responsible for some astounding artistic and scientific collaborations. . But yeah, sure, let's focus on how over-priced record outlets & music companies refused to change with the times & ended up cutting their own throats... blah blah blah |

Context.
Also worth note is that nowhere in the interview does Prince actually say he deplores online and other digital means of music distribution. He said this in 2010... when he released 20ten... via newspapers and magazines. Not online. This provides adequate context as to why he would suggest the internet is over - he wasn't using it. He has since continued to use the internet to release music and videos.

The Internet is dead..yeah? Just let all the artist give away their music in Newspapers...
I think the digital revolution (of which the internet is a part of) is both the best and the worst thing that happened to music. I remember the days when folks would wait in lines for the new release from their favourite artists. Music was so important to us kids back then. No nearly so important now. No more record stores...gone!
But on the other hand...just so much access to whatever you want. Instantly...all you need is an itunes and/or amazon account..amazing. [Edited 7/11/15 18:46pm] To All the Haters on the Internet
