Prince knew he had tones of pictures, just like all the other photographers, and they are their artistic property

Really?? Which interview?? If you provide your source, than at least the level of speculation drops a bit. * And you know what? I do believe there are many on this site that are really tired of YOU placing yourself at every event, every party, every show, at every point and time of his career. It's almost as bad as nails on a chalkboard... | |

I'm no lawyer, but I think ownership of the photos all comes down to the terms of the agreement with Prince. That's why some of his photographers are publishing books and others are not. I still don't see how Kim's reproduction of one photo from his book hurts him in any way. If I were advising Kim, I would suggest that she reach out to Steve Parke and work out an agreement, even if she has to compensate him for her use of the photo. Reading that FB from Steve it sounds like the issue was that she didn’t ask. Had she asked he probably would have said OK so long as she wasn’t charging for it. Paisley Park is in your heart

She was charging for it though, she even said that once he asked her to stop using that picture to sell for money, she had stopped, which was only in the last few days. | |

Steve is charging for his book, no? I just think that it wouldn't kill him to let Kim make a little money off that one picture of her and Prince. He has an entire catalog of Prince photos and will probably publish other books, so why not let one of his long-time colleagues, who is pictured in his book, have a few of his crumbs? | |

Why should he? He owns it. Kim doesn't give anything away for free, why should he? He shouldn't be expected to. | |

He did say if she had talked to him he would have worked with her. But to do it underhanded like that... | |

I thought I read somewhere she was charging $25 for that pic and her autograph. | |

I would think quite a bit of time and effort went into putting that book together. To me, it's the principle of the thing - she should have discussed it with him first instead of trying to make money on the sly. | |

She’s in it for the money but doesn’t understand how anyone else wants compensation? She’s phony and her apologies are insulting. | |

Who was she marketing that to? Purple fam? I am kind of amazed at how many comments on Kim’s FB page are going after Steve Parke for his FB post. I thought his post was quite respectful. And how is his post (which he now removed) wrong but her selling Prince’s hair and socks is not? [Edited 1/29/19 15:14pm] [Edited 1/29/19 15:56pm] Paisley Park is in your heart

I don't doubt that there was a misunderstanding. Steve has a right to profit and have credit for his photos. What I am disappointed with is that he chose Social Media as a means to 'out her' rather than reach out to her personally.
Kim is not wealthy. Most of those that worked for Prince are not wealthy. Prince died so suddenly that many completely lost their means of living and P never established benefits for his people. You often hear people near P say that he would give them personal items and tell them it was their 401K. Giving his hair to his hair dresser is not hard to imagine. Prince didn't care about this world after he left. He was always living for the next life and left a legacy for those here on earth. I seriously don't think hair, combs or socks are something he cared about here on earth or in the after life.
As far as Kim's manager, assistant, etc, These are not professionals. They are not getting paid. They are all volunteers. She is doing this the hard way and working hard to get her story out. I'm not an insider but I did hear remorse in her FB comments. Lets not be so hard on her or any of the Purple Family. She made a mistake and will probably make many more. She probably is navigating this whole experience by trial and error.
Steve, I'm sorry you feel betrayed by Kim. Go to her. Obviously, her manager (by self-proclaimation) is the person who failed you. Sit down and hammer this out directly with Kim. Don't bring it to the fams. It looks like you are purposefully trying to hurt her even though I know that is not your intent. (otherwise you would not have pulled down your original post. You don't want harm to come to anyone as a result of your words.)
Kim, thank you for letting the Fams know you have reached out and are trying to make amends with Steve and to do better. I want to hear your story and I want to see Steve's photos. I intend on purchasing your book just as I have purchased Steve's. Ask Steve what he needs or wants to make this right and work together as a family. Yes! That's what we all are, Family.
As far as P's stinky socks, who care?? If she wants to sell them, they are probably the most affordable personal item a fam can purchase. If you look at the auction, Michael Jackson's socks and shoes are being auctioned off too. If you are disgusted by the item, don't bid on it.....and don't bash Kim for selling it, or another for purchasing it.
As Prince once said in one of his live performance of The Ladder; 'Don't you want to be the generation that gets it right? Don't you want to show the world that this can work? I know I do. Let music bring us together. If you know the words, Sing. If you don't, Step back and listen to perfect harmony."
Be kind, Be loving, Be forgiving, and lets work together. Peace and Be Wild. [Edited 1/29/19 16:35pm] | |
