Since when does Prince HAVE to notify anyone ? Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing. in order to protect his trademark/copyright interest. the way i understand it, if prince/paisley park has knowledge of an entity infringing on his copyrighted/trademarked material, they are required to notify that individual of the infringement. FAILURE to do so could cost prince his right to challenge the transgression. Yes that's right for trademarked / copyrighted information but the point is that abusing someones "name/image" is not an infringement of trademark but is within your legal rights. Even if Pepe had "abused his name/image" (which incidentally I seriously doubt) then there's nothing legally Prince can do about it. But the bottom line is that it is not cool and Pepe is a loser for pimping the Prince name for all these years. ...cause FACE said so!!! | |

truth is that we speculate and speculate and still don't really what happened/will happen.
Give it a rest, IMO. | |

For some reason, some of you keep saying they are all still the same tunes. Get it through your thick heads, NONE OF THESE TUNES OR THE PRINCE GUITAR TRACKS ON 10:15 AND FORTUNE TELLER HAVE EVER BEEN RELEASED BEFORE.
So what? Pepe adds one or two "new" tracks,but all the other songs are the same tracks that appear on numerous other 94 East compilations.I just did a search at Amazon and I found several different 94 East CDs,and they all have the same songs.The only thing that changes is the front cover.Fans should just save their money and download "10:15" and "Fortune Teller" elesewhere. Another thing...why would Prince fans wanna spend all this money just to hear his guitar playing on weak songs that aren't even HIS own compositions? I'm only gonna' tell you this one more time. Here are 2 links for you: www.pepemusic.com and www.electricfetus.com. Read the track listing for the CD titled, 94 East featuring 10:15 and Fortune Teller Remix with Prince on Guitar. Unless you went to either of these two sites and looked at the track listing for THIS CD, you would not see that ALL the songs are new. If you can't see this, get an eye checkup. If you can't understand it, get an IQ test -- you may need Spec Ed classes. Heck, why don't you just order this CD and listen to it and you will HEAR that none of these songs are the same as previous 94 East CDs!!! I went to that site and this is what is says..."In addition to "10:15" and "Fortune Teller",there are 10 very hot,very fresh,very new tracks by 94 East".Supposedly,this is a "new" 94 East album,yet Prince's name is prominently displayed on the cover.So,fans would be shelling out their money just to hear only TWO songs with Prince involvement,and a bunch of weak new tracks by a band that never made it to the big time?? Like I said before,fans should just download "Fortune Teller" and "10:15" elsewhere. And so what if THIS particular CD is "new"? That still doesn't explain why there are numerous other 94 East compilations that have the same songs on every CD. Edit my ass... [This message was edited Wed Jan 29 3:09:12 PST 2003 by DavidEye] I did some investigating and found out a few things about all those rereleases of those 94 East tracks. The Symbolic Beginnings 2 CD package was released on a label called Charly. Charly is a label in the U.K. As I understand it, Charly licensed those songs from Pepe with the right to sublicense it to other labels. When you look at the labels of those other releases, they are all on labels from over in Europe. They just repackage them with Princes picture all over them. Actually, I find it amazing that all these other labels are STILL repackaging this same set of songs. Anyway, Pepe wouldn’t have any control over who else releases these through Charly and how many times it keeps getting repackaged. So you are in error putting in on Pepe that he keeps putting these out over and over and over. The European labels are doing it. It looks to me that he did it once. One more thing, have you listened to the songs on the new 94 East CD? If not, how do you know if they are weak or not? Are you assuming? If so, you what that means . . . . | |

Abrazo said: laurarichardson said: Abrazo said: freakyfeet said: laurarichardson said: Prince may be a asshole. None of us know him on a personal level to really say. However, people like C.J., Alex Hahn and Pepe are bottom fedders in the entertainment industry who could spend their time going after a lot of other jackasses in the industry. I could name a dozen other people in the industry who are lot worst then Prince but, no one is making a industry out of ripping them a new asshole.
Eh ? Maybe you could come up with reasons why CJ & Pepe are "bottom feeders" but how can you judge Alex Hahn without reading a single piece of his work ? --- No, I am just like Laura. I just happen to agree with face this time. I included Alex Hahn because of the title of his book. "Prince the rise and fall" is a tabloid title. Mr. Hahn and his publishers knew exactly what they were doing when they put that title on the book. Therefore, I am lumping Mr. Hahn in with C.J. There is no need to act like it is a crime to have such a title for a book. Now if was outright offending Prince, it would be different. But you didn't even read it, so what do you know? Nothing, right? Whatever your personal opinion on "rise and fall" is, it is your opinion. An opinion on a title does not justify to lump the writer in with CJ. I don't see why you people are always defending princw when there is nothing to defend. But keep on acting as if Prince is being done wrong all the time and we might get some where... 
- [This message was edited Tue Jan 28 21:38:39 PST 2003 by Abrazo] --- I do not think a crime has been committed by going with the rise and fall title. However, it is a tabloid title and if you go to Amazon.com and read the blurbs for the book it does mention details about Prince's relationships. I think to advertise the book this way is tabloid and gossip like. It really is factual if you look at the why the book is being promoted. I have no interest in reading anything else about Prince's dead child, girlfriends, or crazy ass relatives. A lot of this stuff was in the awful Liz Jones book. We all read it all before. You should work on your reading comprehension skills and see my above statement about Prince being an asshole. Maybe he is an asshole but, I do not know him and you do not know him. However, I do not think his private life needs to be dragged out in the public. That's my opinion and I am sticking to it. | |
