Those videos most likely violate copyright laws. Prince would stick his lawyers on this site and try to get it shut down... send takedown notices etc...

that's a question you'll have to ask prince. it's not a rule that we instituted on our own - we're just the messengers. prince does not approve of any youtube content that features his music or image, and he's made it clear through his lawyers that he means business. so while we at the org may like to feature prince-themed youtube clips, it's in our best interests not to let them be posted here. unfortunately. sad

I didn't know the lawyers had the authority to contact a person about their own personal material.

It's like they told the fan.... " you recorded a copy of prince's video, don't post it or else" they couldn't take it out of their own personal possesion huh????? seems very odd.
