/// Prince moved away from Universsl as soon as the deal expired. He then became he is on administer why would he do that if he faith in Universal. Unless you know his family you need to get out of here with the goldigging comments. He took care of them and some of them worked for him. If he hated them he could have written a will and left them nothing. Instead they stand to inherit millions. Plenty of ways to get away from your family if you want but they all in close proximity to him so maybe you don't know what you are talking about. Anyway I am sure Universal will get the boot when the contract ends and the family is in charge.
You know asuch as I and anyone else knows so I wouldn't crow. And likewise if he wanted his family to contol his work he would have made a will expressing exactly that. So again I have no idea what you're crowing about. // You are the one who called the family goldiggers. Unless you know them you need to put a sock in it. They are heirs he could have made is so that did not happen he did not and you don't spend money on people you don't care about. [Edited 11/16/16 18:16pm] |

Not to defend Tidal cuz I don't rent music and therefor don't use streaming services, but...
If the albums Tidal added on Prince's birthday were done without his permission then where did they get their copies? Not only were the NPGMC digital albums available in lossless for the first time ever, one of them was even a different tracklist from the NPGMC release.
It's highly likely Prince did provide Tidal with the music but we can only speculate on what agreement he had with them for releasing it. Regardless, it's obvious that they had SOME agreement with Prince to eventually make it available.
That said: Tidal sucks. Streaming services suck. If the estate wants my $$ they will offer CDs & LPs (+ DVDs or Blu). I did buy downloads from Tidal of Prince music not released on physical format but I would never pay for any streaming service. Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'... |

That's where I am at with this. Not only that they have the proper NPG artwork and music in high resolution. Thats more than anyone else ever had including on Npgmc years ago. Those songs were given to us in 128kb bit rate. NPG had to have GIVEN the rights for streaming. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Yeah sure. I know old people who pay $112 dollars a month for their ground line telephones. Sure there will be be physical media but it's just a waiting game until the last grandma dies and stops paying her phone bill. There's still black Smith's fitting horses their shoes.

The Estate, it appears, is also stating something about the Tidal deal only lasting the duration of 90 days, but Prince was obviously happily working with Tidal way longer than that and was still delivering Tidal exclusive material right up until the week of his passing. On that last Monday we received Black Sweat live from Atlanta as the Purple Pick. It stands as the last officially released song in Prince's lifetime. |

Why WB? Prince fought so hard to gain his catalog back from WB, so that would just defy what Prince wanted.

You are correct. Some of the things the estate are stating sound insane. There is an agreement somewhere my guess is some is in writing and some of it may be oral. What I do notice is that the lawsuit has a court order for all of the music to come off and after a day it is all still up. I also wonder why the estate did not go to court back in June if they believed copyright infringement was occuring.
I also wish Tidal would advertise the digital store. You can buy all of the Prince music from their store without buying a subscription. I would sugget everyone do this before the music is taken off. It may take a while before the music appears on other sites and the estate will put of a greatest hits before they put up the rarities we like. |

Why are you still defending Tidal, even when it was revealed they still owe Prince money???
You need to read the court docs. Do you really think Prince handed over files without getting money up front? He was alive and well while files were going up on the site. How could the deal have only been for one CD? |

Not trying to be harsh here but does it really matter what Prince would have wanted? He's gone. And we all know how notorious P was for changing his mind every 2 minutes. Who's to say there wouldn't have been a Universal or WB deal 6 months or 6 years down the line. We will never know sadly. Trust the family will strike the right balance between what P wanted, what the fans want and an income to sustain the Estate, though I sense there will have to be some compromise somewhere.

It does matter.....HOWEVER, IMO if an organization has shown that they can not be trusted and is stealing money from the said person, which TIDAL has done to Prince the I dont think the organization has the right to continue with business as usual and I honestly don't believe Prince signed a contracted for a extended period with Tidal. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just for this year. TIDAL is a sinking ship and they just want Princes music for profit and money purposes, they don't care about preserving Princes legacy. |

IMO I think Prince obviously liked something about Tidal and Jay Z both.Honestly I don't think Tidal would be where it's at without the Prince material. Like all of us who have a choice I don't support Tidal and never will I'm not saying Jay isn't a fan but I feel like he just sees it as a business investment(greed).As long as the family is taken care of and his future releases are done properly that's all that matters.And he legacy should he respected.

Tidal is saying they have written and oral agreements. The written will stand the oral will not. The court is going to look at the docs and decide. I don't believe Prince sent files to Tidal without getting money upfront. Since both parties agree that there is a ninety day exclusive why not just put new material on for ninety days and then move it to other platforms. Not sure why the Estate is so hell bent on cutting Tidal out and when nothing is stopping the music from going on both a Tidal and other platforms at the same time. You also have to be careful when accusing people of copyright infringement. |

I wonder if Londell is representing the Prince estate in this case? I'm guessing it may have some repercussions considering he owns source magazine and has affiliations with other artists. I asked him on twitter but received no response. You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City |

Yes, true. The world is very "mobile" today. No one wants to carry around CDs--everything is just a click away, nowadays. Prince's issue with streaming music had to do with artists who were not getting compensated for their work, which I have to agree with him on that. I still have my vinyl -- hard to part with, but I did get rid of a lot of my CDs--they take up a lot of space.

I'm not sure they mended fences. I just don't feel WB should have Prince's masters back; that's not what Prince would want, imo. Things are getting nasty now with Prince's estate, and I just want to see his music go into the right hands.
