Are you like me? I would like as a member of Lotusflower, to be able to download videos and view them in my iPod. Especially Chocolate Box and Crimson and Clover. If you agree raise your hand.

Freaks on this Side!

[Please no how-to's on ripping from the site -Mars23]

too much of a hassle for a paying member, van hemelen... I'm with the idea of letting us download them.

I'd rather see a petition for higher quality videos.

I am all for downloading videos, but it's a little late now, he has our money. Like the last time he don't give a f*** once he has your money you have not got a chance.

The best way would have been to not pay until we got a definite idea of what we were getting and if we were not happy then not joining until we were guaranteed to get what we want but that would never of happened really.

This was my point exactly. Why charge someone for something before they know what they're getting. I didn't fall for this and never will. Prince is all about money now. Damn how the fans feel or what the want or get.

Not to be sounding mean....

But a 10 y.o. could down load the vids from the site.

If you use Firefox... familiarize yourself with 'Google' and let the brain power used for complaining go towards finding yourself a very.... very easy solution.

I know the mods don't want us telling you how to rip from the site.... but damn.... there have been hundreds of post made on these forums explaining from the complex to the "d'uh it was that simple." of how to rip videos.

The internet is the information highway.... get on the road and use it.

For what we paid we should be able to dowload the videos, pictures, lyrics and every other content in the website.

i thank god for FIREFOX!!

I really don't get why you guys still have "independent and unofficial" at the top. Be honest with the world and call yourself "Prince's bitch". Because that's what you are when you are doing Web Sheriff's work. That's what you are when you uncritically post "updates" from the incompetent webmaster hired by Prince.

It's precisely this "let's not upset anyone" attitude that has kept Prince's official websites such crapfests: because major sites like the Org will happily comply with whatever nutcase rule Prince comes up with. Will you comply when Prince starts telling you that you cannot use purple?

There is no "ripping" involved, no code breaking. All of the tools I mentioned are perfectly legal and as a matter of fact are instrumental in forcing websites to improve the customer experience. Soon you'll be able to DL YouTube videos, precisely because there are numerous tools that allow you to do that anyway.

If anything, the Org should be at the frontline defending the interests of Prince fans. The Org should point out gaping security holes, broken promises, etc. Oh wait, you can't "because you're independent"? Then apply that same rule to posts like mine.
