PrintableTalking of bootlegs - now that Prince has decided to work against the fans websites rather than with them can prince.org not now relax the rules as to where bootlegs can be found. That should really piss the Web Sheriff off.
Will be interesting to see what The Pirate Bay do with their take down notice. If they stay true to form, they will just take the piss out of the Web Sheriff and tell him to get stuffed. Let the games begin..... Say hello to Podge | |

God (by whatever name) made him, gave him his talent, and introduced it to the world, and Prince has worked harder than anyone I've ever seen to perfect his craft. It's his work, his image, his life over which he wants control. Who of us does not want that to the extent we can get it?
Hi Amy. It's Ivy. I imagine that fine line between love and hate finally dissolved. I went to PFU today with great sadness, which soon turned to anger. Such hate from those who supposedly loved; not just hate for Prince, but racial and homophobic rage. Nothing good can come from this site. No one will win this battle. As of today, I believe we have all lost the acceptance, the love, the freedom, and the incredible togetherness we once shared from Prince's music. I hope all the ego trips are worth it. Amy 
Thank you for your positivity. | |

You know, come to think of it, not too long ago I was shuffling through my Prince folder and clicked on something I got bought] through the NPGMC and it no longer works because of some certificate or something. As far as I know I did not rent that item. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

And then you can treat them like shit, because they don't matter and didn't have anything to do with your success. We've seen this for years with Prince.

Thank you for your positivity. Hey, sweet girl! Love to you always!! I kept my mouth shut as long as I could. I knew it wouldn't be a popular opinion, but, WTH!  You ask me to forgive you, when you know I'm just an addict. | |

That is what the essence of this conflict is about. Do we allow any central figure or organisation to control how, where and when we use products we payed for, and how, where and when we discuss them. The NPGMC store is a great example of how the current legal system and technology can be abused if all the power is held by a central figure. Noone's NPGMC files work anymore simply because Prince was able to pull the plug on them. "this especially prepared potato is called pomme de terre" | |

Hmmm...perhaps a class action law suit against his behind would teach Prince about being so damn sue happy! | |

Okay, its impossible to argue with a personal religious philosophy. But let me say that there are alot of talented and blessed people out there whose work or skill will never see the light of day because no one knows about and supports them. I know i wouldn't be worth shit without God, but also my mom and dad, all my friends, and my own hard work. Thats a network of support that i need. | |

I'll only speak for myself, but any hateful things that I say are strictly in reaction to Prince's control-freak desire to stifle any criticism. Don't get me wrong, I still love (most of) the man's music. But I've hated him as a human being for 10 years now, since he pulled this same shit to a lesser degree the first time around. I will say anything critical that I want to about Prince. He will not stop me. And if what I say is hateful and ugly, that's calculated to spite him.
