Wow, I don't know where you are from but jealous and envious are synonyms. And it best we don't meet? What is that supposed to mean? You know too many people from here?

Where do you get the impression that I ever wanted to meet you in the first place? I am fucking scared of you already.

and about me making comments to you. Seven times is nothing. I make hundreds of comments directly to other orgers.

In news reports and interviews before the site opened, Prince and his web designers promised a lot. A lot that has not happened. Would anyone like the name of a good class action law firm?

wtf is going on in this thread?

Happy you're still rolling with the logic, Vendetta1. As always it makes more sense.

mzkqueen03 it's quite difficult to read your posts the way they are written with all of the strings of fullstops.

As for Lotu$flower it is what many of us expected. As Anxiety brilliantly (and factually) pointed out it hasn't gone over with org members well at all. Therefore there will be many people bitching about it. I'm glad I didn't fall for it this time after the whole NPGMC DRM fiasco really pissed me off.

One plus for the site is it did offer the albums in wav format for those who care for quality. On the same note it's offensive to his fans for P to go all rageattack on any site enabling his videos to be seen but then creating what is essentially the same thing and expect USD77 for it.

I look at it this way: if you live in the US you pay, what, USD13 for the album? OK, so you've then paid USD77 - USD13 = USD64 for the site. Take away your 'free' T-shirt (say about US30) and you're paying USD34 to watch flash videos that remove themselves from your cache when you clean up your PC. If you don't do that and keep them, you've paid that same amount of money to steal copyrighted material in a format that's, well, pretty crappy to say the least.

The best thing would be a free website that makes its money from selling product. CDs, DVDs, etc but for reasons that continue to confuse everyone P thinks this is not what is right, regardless of it being successful for many artists.

I'm bemused by the arguments to be honest. If some people think that paying USD77 for what they receive that is fine. I personally think it's an enormous wank but each to their own.

Peace

Rather than follow such a dramatic route it would be easier and better for you to calmly get your credit card company to query the charge by saying you haven't gotten what you've paid for.

They will try to defend their customers and do it all day every day. You will probably have the money recredited while they do so.

Exactly!! On Friday, I was credited $350.00 for a purchase that I was not satisfied with. I was going round and round with the company that I made the purchase with for two weeks and getting nowhere. When I finally had enough of that, I called my bank, gave them all the information and the reasons for my dissatisfaction. They contacted the company and I had my money back in less than 24 hours.

NeoSoul said:

I'm fed up with Lotus, but the fact is, nothing was promised. What exactly can we sue them for?

It would be a bit like going to see a movie, or buying a CD, only to find it was shit. You can hardly prosecute anyone for that. Yes it's shit, yes it sucks, yes we should grumble and moan but I don't think we have any legal legs to stand on as such.

The credit card company route is probably the most likely to result in success, if you really are that fed up.

I swear the MPAA and the RIAA better be damn happy about that!

The who and the what?

connorhawke said:

The Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America. The folks responsible for all the crappy ass movies and music!

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Thanks!
As you can probably tell I'm not of the "A"

LOTUSFLOW3R is a beautiful well rounded website, and only a loser would think that it's not worth $77.00 If U haven't joined yet U must become a member 2day!! LOTUSFLOW3R is by far the best website out there. Eye will always keep my membership renewed.

I'm not yet a member of LotusFlower.

I wonder if it's worth being. I already have the album, and the tee-shirt too...
What else should I find?

vivelafrance said:

U will find harmony and experience LOTUSFLOW3R in a way that is far superior to anything that anyother artist is capable of doing today. The videos are perfect and the track "The Morning After" is the best song on the Lotusflow3r cd. Join now b4 it's 2 late!!!! This experience is well worth more than 77.00 Prince is giving us all a great deal. Thanx Prince

tShirt? Lucky you. I paid on the opening day and still don't have my tshirt. Mind you I am being unreasonable seeing as it's only been what half a year or so. These things take some packing and sending and writing address labels isn't as easy as you think.

So...how much are they paying you?

If you think one song is worth $77, then go for it.

Because as of right now, the only thing you would get for your $77 is one song.
