It seems like Prince & management have tried to shut down all discussion from previous associates. All the deleted threads & the inside tid bits, couldn't have that. What's strange is this site acts like this doesn't happen. We just keep it moving,eh? Who decides to delete previous messages that were obviously informative? Is it due to the threats & intimidation? Just curious what the procedure on all of that is.

What's sad is, we have fans here who are so loyal to Prince, that if asked they would turn on certain reputable org members & try to ruin their credibility if Prince requested they do so. Just don't pretend you don't collect bootlegs when we know you do. We know you have a library of bootlegs so stop lying and making subliminal comments of others that do. You lie to give the impression that you are a honorable member of the prince family. Because you would never go on Rapidshare,zshare, or Mega & download unreleased music. Oh no, that isn't you. You live by the new power code which you have pledged on your soul to abide by. Right? And if your stomach is twisting in knots because you know you download,listen,purchase, why the fuck are you going after others who do? Stop pretending & join us. Prince isn't going to invite you into his inner sanctum because you don't listen to bootlegs or promote any kind or any sort.

But just so these types understand, we AREN'T EVER GOING AWAY. We are going to continue being wise cracking jokers & neurotic commentators in the Purple world. And we will call you on your utter trite posturing preaching bullshit. We will kick that pedestal & you will join us equally on the same playing field. And if you are mad at that, maybe listening to Small Club will help wash away some of that bitterness & hatred you have to others. It's okay, we won't tell anyone, who are we kidding? We are going to forward it ALL to his royal badness.

May you now be at peace, my child.

love,

Spirit

Thank you,Spirit Otter. I feel like a heavy new power burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I dropped the mic for others in the town square to voice their org grievances.

Ever learned why the .org, .net and .com top level domains were created?

Prince should BUY this site. It's the best and biggest customer list he will ever find.

You talk about "we" all the time. Who is that "we" you are talking about?

The latter is definitly true.

But the first, no.

The org is the only site that survived Prince's online onslaught. They all should have taken Welcome to the Slaughterhouse seriously. Prince should never get that kind of control over it.

All kidding aside, the org, Ben that is, is the only who bothered to inform himself and act on the proper legal advice he received, before setting the site up as it has now been for 10 years already.

UNTOUCHED by Prince's lawyers.

Yes, there are moderators and rules and yes those rules are being enforced. Because that PROTECTS the org. It's the reason why today we can still enjoy using it.

So to Trickology: think about that.

You did not mention at what cost.

This is the most unfree forum about that musician of all the interwebz.

No one public attempt was done to reign in the copyright funammentalists or to talk any reason into them.

No, the powers that be on this forum act fearfully and without reason that is not driven by fear.

Udo, I know exaggerations are your trademark.

Like I said, yes there are moderators and yes there are rules being enforced. You may not like them.

But that's exactly why the org is still alive. You should acknowledge that and stop being so ungrateful.

This shows that you compare apples and organges.

Do you want freedom or do you want to 'survive'?

sit down Udo

Great elaboration.

I wouldn't say it's been completely untouched. The org changed forever when the Web Sherrif pulled into town...

How so? The rules were always no posting of videos, links, where can I get it etc. And they were enforced. Websheriff couldn't do jack squad against the org.

I never understood why a site like housquake for example would be so offended. It was always clear that Prince wouldn't accept that kind of (infringing) website. But still thought they could get away with it somehow and when it turned out they couldn't, their members were somehow mad.

Thankfully Ben always took matters much more seriously.

Ben had to take a lot of pics down in the Gallery.

'Protect'?

What type of glases are you wearing?

Don't you see a degradation in liberty, freedom, subjects, content, etc?

Why would that be?

The rentseeking copyright lobby enslaves us all and you are not even seeing it.

Dude, the only freedom or liberty here is what the owner grants you.

You don't own this site so you have no say over it. Better even, when you joined, you agreed with its rules.

And since you don't own it, you won't be liable for it either. Ben would be and he wouldn't be able to keep the site up in that case.

You can keep on whining about that forever, but you could better start your own website then.

Would be a much more positive way to release all that energy of yours.

I have not shed a tear. Obviously the org doesn't own the copyrights to those pictures, so it can't just keep a gallery on it if the owner(s) do not want it to.

Big deal.

Why the hell is this thread catching up to mine?

My thread has pictures, jokes, homosexuality, and general discussion orgers all up in it.

Yes, Ben offers us a great site and we can continue here because he sticks to the laws.

Good post Tremolina!

Who said anything about Ben?

You refuse to admit that the 'laws' are largely bullshit rules for rentseeking only.

(for life plus 70 or whatever is the current state; i.e. for people that refuse to save for their pension, for people that think that paying the children is good to, so they won't have to work)

It's a perverse system that needs to be altered a.s.a.p.

But of course the sheeple just do as they do.
