Exactly. Who's to say that:

1) Pissed off Prince fans can't multitask our various pissed-off issues, and
2) Pissed off Prince fans can't see larger implications or unpleasant precedents potentially brewing in this situation, which could go way beyond PrinceyWorld?

Though good use of the "there's a world beyond Prince" argument. Thanks for posting again on Prince.Org!

and what's the timescale on all of this? anyone know?

Hi everyone,

Maybe he is just unhappy?? There is a big problem he has and he may just need help. Can we help him?

I am even willing to help Ben pay any legal bills on this. Seriously, I would totally donate to help keep us as a site alive

sorry don't get your point - what I see on this thread is a lot of vitriole from so-called fans who have already gone off Prince's music anyway

- perhaps he will just weed them out of his fan-base and be left with people who actually like to listen to his music and go to his performances without all the carping and criticism and instructions

You know what is so great about all this? I am getting Planet Earth AND the sign of the times dvd for FREE! And thanks to Prince for distributing free copies it won't be illegal as they are a gift from a friend who received multiple copies!

Ummm...before everyone goes off half cocked (I think that ship has sailed ) what exactly is it that we are being asked to support or get all riled up about or whatever?

I don't see anything but a summary (by the "hurt" parties) of the letters P.'s attorneys or whoever sent the site owners of these fan sites.

Can we get the text of the letter/s?


But anyway, I never really visited the gallery, not being, you know, a 13 year old girl...

Get your Crystal Ball album. It is OBESE with FLAVA!

Prince really takes everything seriously. He probably sits up at night and reads these posts...

well, for starters, prince just sued a baby for dancing to "let's go crazy" in a youtube clip. that was what, about a month ago?

I get picked on at school for liking this s.o.b. I get to be the wierd girl that likes "Kiss"
I feel like such a sucker, like I was scammed. Its hard to keep a good attitude, no matter hard I try. And I'm trying. But it looks like a got caught up in the wrong game.
Yes, i know this post makes me look pathetic.

I should sue you for that! How negative! These are MY words, dammit! They belong to....MEEEEE!

For now anyway.

Once upon a time in the land of sinaplenty....There lived a Prince who didn't deserve 2 B.

This Prince had a great crowd who cared 4 him in many ways.

The songs were written with love and conviction.... but this Prince had many bills to pay.

So he took it upon himself 2 curse his followers throughout the land.

The followers who reached deep in their pockets....and gave any thing they can.

It wasn't enough so he became enraged....He wanted 2 strike back.... he felt he wasn't being paid.

A great war was coming and no1 was quite sure why....this Prince has gone mad so many followers R having to say goodbye.

Music so meaningful that it's the soundtrack to 1's life....but the pain this Prince has given has caused so much strife.

Take heed dear Prince 4 U R on the road 2 the end....there will be 1 pocket less 2 fill....and 1 less friend.

All ur friends would like 4 U 2 come 2 ur senses....because on this great earth we need our dear Princes.

So let this be a lesson....may this war come 2 cease.
The money in your pocket.... will soon decrease...

well I doubt it was the baby who got sued - more likely the parents surely

i guess he just wants to retire and make people forget all about him, so
i say go ahead and piss off already. we'll just spin your good records,
the ones you released in the 80's and some of the ones you released in
the 90's and the two decent ones you released this decade.

if you wanna do us one last favor before you close the book on us all,
put out some digitally remasterd copies of your good music, the tunes
that made you the icon you are. the ones you're allowing to be sold in
stores to this very day in a quality that is nowhere near the level it
could be. strange, for such a perfectionist who wants to control every
single aspect of his carreer, you'd allowe the one thing that made you
to dwindle like that and be on sale, representing you, in lousy quality

yeah yeah, we shouldn't send you our wishinglist. we're only fans after
all. people who supported you and loved you for the free thinking, love
preaching wild motherfucker you were.

still, i have to implore, stop whining and release some remasters and
maybe, just maybe people will realise how truly great you were before
you lost the plot somewhere around 1998 and kept spiraling downward to
this sad new depth that we seem to have reached at this moment.

after you've done that you can go fish in lake minnetonka till you're 80.

but please, whatever you decide, enough with the drama already

Forget fishing in Lake Minnetonka, I think Prince should go jump into Lake Minnetonka, with all this bullshit that he's pulling on us.

I also suggest sending back all the extra copies of Musicology and Planet Earth that were given out at various concerts, through newspapers. Send them all directly to Paisley Park with polite notes telling him what he can do with them.
