No, not at all. But it's just you and his paid employees now. Oh, but wait, I hear they hate him too. Yeah, I guess it's just you ![]() "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

It doesn't have to be about hating the guy, you are allowed to just hate this situation and what he is insisting. | |

I don't hate Prince. I think some of his actions suck ass lately. | |

I have no clue why Prince views his biggest fans and supporters as adversaries. It makes no sense to me. Any other artist would be THRILLED to have such a large, vibrant, active fan base in an on-line community.
I really think Prince is out of touch with reality. Maybe alot of the stuff in the Hahn book about him being isolated and living in his own Purple dream world are accurate. Just when he was close to completely redeeming himself earlier this decade... he had a chance with his newly-refound popularity, with his high-profile appearances, his success with Musicology... he had a chance to hit new heights in his career. But he frittered it away with erratic promotion of all 3 albums, and now this. He's going to be an afterthought again, or just a joke. And frankly it's getting to the point where I don't give a fuck. I mean, how many times can you defend the man and try to swallow it because you like "If I Was Your Girlfriend?" At some point the truth about the man behind the music has to have some influence on whether fans can continue to support him. I dunno, it's very very frustrating. Just the thought of playing "Planet Earth" right now makes me oozy. ![]() * * *

728huey said: This crap needs to stop now! If Prince doesn't want anyone to talk about him, his music, or his performances, then he shouldn't be putting himself out in a public way in the first place. He can go to whatever remote cabin in the woods in rural Minnesota and perform his music there so no one can talk about him. Otherwise, he's just going to have to deal with his fans talking about how great 1999. Purple Rain, and Sign O' the Times were, what pieces of crap Chaos and Disorder and Crystal Ball were, and any home videos of babies dancing to his music and teen girls shaking their rumps in their bedrooms to DMSR.
He's being a total control-freaking douchebag here, but the thing about the internet is that once you put something out to be shared, you basically give up control of that item. Now it's one thing to request that copyrighted stuff posted illegally be taken down, but getting into a hissy fit because someone posted an old public picture or video of you doing something that you are embarrassed to be associated with today is too bad. All of us have done something publicly in the past that we are not proud of, but we just deal with it and move on. No matter how hard you try to erase your history, it's going to be seen one way or the other. ![]() ![]() I still can't believe a baby dancing to his music was a problem. Maybe he's bitter because he doesn't have any | |

I don't hate Prince. I think some of his actions suck ass lately. That's what I totally agree with, but I think it took him to do this to realize he's gone too far. Hopefully. | |

If Prince ultimately loses this - and I suspect he will - I wonder if he'll go into reclusive pouting mode.
Maybe just retire from the industry and sulk in his studio for hours on end producing masterpieces that he'll take great joy in knowing that nobody will ever hear. * * *

Prince really has awesome fans. Yall been through some shit and you were still there in the end. Now, he's trying to drive people away who have loved and supported him for over half his life. That is in-frikken-credible. Yall deserve respect. You are one of the most loyal fanbases in the world.
He is such a fool. | |

If I didn't know anything about this site and I heard about this lawsuit I would expect the org had a whole bunch of rampant bootlegging, a streaming audio player with only vault material, a section for concert trading or uploads...

I would like to know which stupid F#@K whispered in Prince's ear that he, a celebrity who is always in the news can control his image?
This is a prime example of NO F#@KING COMMON SENSE!!!!! Once a person decides to become a public figure (i.e.,celebrity, politician, author, etc.) that person is F#@KED until centuries after death. We the fans need to counter-threatened Prince Rogers Nelson for being a DUMB F#@K and not knowing about the Fair Use Doctrine. | |

psychodelicide said: IstenSzek said: 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. Lake Minnetonka is being used in heavy rotation tonite ![]() ![]() ![]() RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Then NOTICE HIS DEPOSITION. Put him in a conference room, with a court reporter, swear him in, and make him answer your questions. He'll hate that. Good suggestion. Dude's just trying to scare Ben, et al. A control-freak, such as he is, would do anything possible to avoid that kind of situation. | |
