Its not about being "afraid" of anything, like I said, some just don't care or have more important things in their lives to deal with. but i do respect you and others for fighting for what you believe in.

Hold on a second. If anyone is taking things personal it is you by this response. Who the hell are you to question me why I'm here. I just stated a fact. No one said you had to agree with it.

I find this to be an interesting discussion, so I participate, but I'm not angry about it, there are folks like me who choose not to personalize this situation and its just not a big deal in my life. that's just me, so what? i still respect those to take a stance in what they believe in.

I'm starting 2 get the feeling that all of this bickering is by design. I wonder what is REALLY going on here?

(as you have the right to btw.)
I do not want to offend you in any way whatsoever.
In the end we are all here because we love Prince's music.
I am a person that does critize him when i feel the need to, we do not have to agree on everything

Sorry, my psychic powers aren't working too well.

So basically because I didn't say "pretty please" you couldn't orgnote ME ?

Thanks for the collaborative efforts - I do hope Prince.org don't fall foul of the same fate at a later date.

Gav said:

no, not pretty please...just you know, just talk to folks sans the assery..that would have been a nice start. and your still doing it.

Xenophobia2002, is correct that it is about copyright infringement. Has anyone read what was posted at 3121, the story about Mark Twain and his fight for copyright laws? I don't see any mention of it in any of the forums here.

It really is a shame that people just can't get along,simply said....RESPECT ONE ANOTHER.

hadn't see it since i dont go to 3121.com ...but will check out...could be interesting.

DigMeNow said:

AMEN!
SHOULD WE JUDGE ANOTHER, LEST WE BE JUDGED TOO?

Gav said:

Gav,

I'd say your best course of action in this injustice would be to:

1. Relaunch Housequake as a text only forum, keep all the same topics. Nothing wrong with talking about bootlegs. Keep all photo and bootleg sharing private between members.

2. Reload Housequake with the Pirate Bay, keeping everything on Swedish servers, transfering ownership of the site "in name" to someone in Sweden. Therefore nothing on the site has to change.

3. Contact the media and make Prince look so bad in this that it destroys his career.

4. Find a lawyer who will challenge "team NPG" on this for free, like before. What happened to Alex Hahn?

You should post all the emails team NPG has sent you over the last three years, that would be hilarious to read, all their stupid requests. I should launch a fan site (f*ckprince.com) just to get in on the game and start getting requests!

What do you mean to destroy Prince's career?

lspear76 said:

As difficult as that would be to pull off, I don't think that HQ would really want to do that, as others have mentioned it basically exists to discuss and give coverage to Prince's career. I know lots of people are angry, sad, exasperated with all this but let's just see what Aaron et al decide after they have had a little break. Everyone's talking like Prince's team has won, to me it sounds like the attempted compromise just got a little out of hand that's all. (we Brits love understatement )

lspear76 said:

bad idea! believe it or not, those emails are copyrighted, and they know it.

txladykat said:

you can really copyright communication like that? does that mean we can copywright each of our blogs?

updated post: nevermind, i found this: http://www.ivanhoffman.com/rights.html
that means all you folks need to stop quoting me in your responses to my posts.

i am so diggin this!

txladykat said:

Emails are not copyrighted information. That's ridiculous. This whole situation is ridiculous.

wonder505 said:

It's really a wonder, Wonder, how you so often post my thoughts and say it in a better way too.

wonder505 said:

Thanks sis...my team lost and I reeked of curry all day but that soup was GOOD!

I should make some for the next round of negotiations in this dispute...just imagine, things could go from this...



To this...



Everybody feels better after a nice bowl of soup!

So...who wants some?

lspear76 said:

Of course emails can be copyrighted.

Of course, there are grounds for when copyrighted information can be copied.

But it's your suggestion to publish the emails that is ridiculous.

lspear76 said:

actually, it is. read the copyright law. And if you can find any interpretation whatsoever that says it is not, then please show me where you found it. Not that I am worried, because you won't find it.

Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form. The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of the author who created the work. Copyright law gives people the right to exclude others from copying what they have written

...and to further that. the parties sending communications to housequake specifically claimed copyright and instructed not to publish the communications in the public. to do so at that point would get housequake into deep water. now, that isn't to say that you can't discuss the contents of the email, but you cannot copy the email itself or make it available for viewing in its entirety.
