but remember who prince is, and his history regarding this particular issue. i mean, this is the guy who shut down entire websites back in the day, and who has led an ongoing campaign against bootlegs. he's publicly expressed the fact that bootlegs aren't really cool with him. in fact his legal team has gone after people who trade in bootlegs and what i see happening now is that poeople who have heard the album are giving it 'bad' reviews, and likely won't bother to actually BUY the album when march 21st rolls around. seriously, ain't it a shame? i have been more active in posting about prince since getting the album early than i have been in years, cause it's the first album he has put out since the gold experience that i even like. and i will be buying a copy come 21st.  glad to hear it | |

despite all arguements in favor of it, bootlegging is illegal. There can be no defense of it.
If you were a carpenter, how would you make money if people kept stealing the lumber you used to frame a house, and used it to frame their own house? If the songs and music were supposed to be released, Prince would have done so. Period. The music belongs to him until he says release it. | |

Your analogy is way off: Prince's guitar wasn't stolen, it's what he did with it which got copied. If someone needs another frame for a house, a carpenters needs to redo his work with the same effort as the first time. A musician just runs another copy of his CD at negligable cost and effort.  You don't scare me; i got kids | |
