DEAR PRINCE, if u go on ebay, u probably can find one or more of these CD's you request in this list. you probably will pay just as much as we all did when we were trying to purchase any music from you through ebay or other sellers. if you are intersted in bootlegs, you can always contact me, i'm sure we can work out a trade, or a deal. just like in real life. if not, you can always try to purchase bootlegs through your local wreckasto' with kind regards. please, feel free to contact me whenever you feel like. i truely would looove to trade something.

Prince can do what he wants, whenever he wants, there still is no musician up to this day who did release so many music in his career.. so leave the brotha alone.  ))
He can change his mind every day if he wants to, be glad you know about all his so called projects, even if they will never see the light of day.. i kinda like the thought knowing there is so much to listen to, or to look at, that will never see thelight of day. hopefully he will show it only to some very few, and then destroy the stuff.. now that will be cool! [/quote]
So thats it, we owe him for all the music he's given us? Man, we don't owe him nothing. We've given him love, a fanbase, support and oh $$$!! Prince owes us for being loyal to him all these years. He does whatever he wants, all the time. They guy is an egomaniac. I don't want to know all of his so called projects, I want to have them in my hand. I think we've waited long enough. Rudedog | |

You almost had me up til there...  What? You don't like Rave un2? or do you ONLY like the Emancipation-onwards material? (i.e., it's not been downhill since Emancipation... there are actually a handful of people out there who don't like the WB years stuff, and I think it's because of the curse words, hint, hint) Anyways, the request to send legitimate WB items to that Ohio address is ridiculous. Prince should be happy that fans had access to that material way back when, and focus on the future. Ever since 1997, his career has been stalled because of his bad attitude. There are so many excellent, struggling artists out there who the big labels keep passing over, and who would love to have contracts like Prince had -- he should be happy WB kept him going for so long. Implying that these WB releases are "bootlegs" is preposterous. All record companies release different permutations of singles to maximize exposure, increase market penetration, and get more radio-play. I bet if he had followed this model since 1997, that his career wouldn't be stalled. It is definitely stalled. Don't go defending him saying that N.E.W.S. just came out, because 99.999% of the human population no longer cares. They don't even care about the ONA Aladdin DVD! This shit will never smell like roses. The market has spoken: it's "lights out" on Prince. "purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch" |

If Prince didn't receive his cut of the sales, then arguably he got cheated (I know, record companies NEVER cheat musicians ). Anyway, Prince's career has been "stalled" since the early 90's, even when he was with WB.

i agree with everything you say, except you're wrong that SOT is legit. it IS a bootleg. it doesn't even have all the songs on it, and they're in mixed up order. maybe it would be better to call it a pirate? but a pirated copy is a copy of the whole thing, usually..whereas this is a poorly slapped together sampling.

Maybe the DVD version you're referring to is different from the one I have. (???) I've compared mine, from Brazil, track-by-track with my Japanese LaserDisc, and it is identical for content. Prince's new definition of bootleg means that the Japanese LaserDisc of SotT is a "bootleg", so making this comparison is getting sketchy. The artwork is, I'll admit, "Brazilian". The cover photo is from around 1983, and the tracklisting on the package is in the wrong order. (!) All you have to do is get past the packaging, stick the disc in the player, and voila: SotT, full-length DVD version. This item isn't pirated either because decent, Portuguese-speaking people at a legitimate Brazilian company released it. If it were pirated, Alliance Atlantis should be suing them for using their logo. It's packaging is in bad taste, but does anyone remember the cover for the "I Hate U" CDsingle... GHASTLY! Is that a bootleg too?!? I guess using Prince's new definition it would be! "purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch" |

The fact that NPGMC had to issue an "explanation" is simply MORE PROOF that "they"- including Nce, of course- barely have a CLUE as to what they are doing, what they want to do, or HOW they should even do it. those last 2 barelyy perceptible threads of credibilty continue to diminish.. right before our eyes..

MadeUpName said: The DVD is from a developing country, Brazil, and the people there speak Portuguese and have a different culture.
Man...that sounds a little harsh. I agree with theblueangel that perhaps "pirate" or even "grey market" might be better terms for this DVD than bootleg. It was put out "officially" in Brazil, however, the company that put it out does not have any authorization to do so from the copyright holders. Alliance Atlantis is a Canadian based media conglomerate which, I'm guessing here, put the film out on video in Canada and maybe the UK. The film was distributed originally by Cineplex Odeon, which is now part of Alliance Atlantis, so it makes perfect sense that the DVD shows the Alliance logo at the beginning of the film. Whoever produced the DVD probably used a Canadian VHS tape as the "master". A "legitimate Brazilian company" authorized to release this whould have had their own master and logo to use, no matter what language they speak. The SOTT LD from Japan was fully authorized by the copyright holder for release by whatever label it was that put it out at the time (I'm at work, the LD is at home, can't look it up). There is a world of difference between the origin of that release many years ago and the DVD we're discussing. We're getting WAY off of point here...apart from NPGMC's email, there has never been any hint that WB had anything to do with this release. Their assertion that WB had something to do with this DVD and that our sending our CD singles to some Pharoah in Ohio would bolster their claim and allow Prince to produce a remastered DVD of PR with lots of extras is just so goofy it's hard to fathom. Ouch, I think my brain just cracked. | |

Of course, maybe NPGMC knows something about the origin of this DVD that we don't. As I've said in other posts, I wish they'd just tell us what the problem is straight out and how any of their statements/requests relate to another. As it is, it doesn't make much sense and leads me to believe that they don't really have a lot of faith in their own case.
I'd really love to understand what the problems are because I truly feel that that what fans are left could really become soliers for the cause, if the cause was just. | |

Ouch, I think my brain just cracked. True, Alliance Atlantis bought out Cineplex Odeon Films from Cineplex Odeon Canada in May 1998. However, I don't think Alliance Atlantis has re-released SotT anywhere on VHS since May 1998. (If anyone can tell me where I can get a VHS copy made by Alliance Atlantis post May 1998, please inform me and I'll investigate). The copies out there are still old copies, not bearing the Alliance Atlantis logo. So, if there has not been an Alliance Atlantis version released, the argument that the Brazilian DVD is a copy of a legitimate Alliance Atlantis version falls flat. Hence, the DVD is legit, just with artwork that most USA Prince fans don't like (because they're intolerant of Brazilian culture, something I'm not; for the record, I love Brazil, even though I live in Canada. Up here, I have to deal with the daily assault of American pop culture, and plenty of it offends Canadian sensibilites). I wouldn't be surprised that if the SotT DVD were made in Canada, some USA fans would still call it a bootleg because it would have some French on the cover (Remember "freedom fries"). Don't forget where Prince now lives: TORONTO the FABULOUS! According to Prince's new definition of bootleg, however insane it appears, the Japanese LaserDisc could very well be a bootleg. "The list" mentions Japanese remix EPs as being bootlegs. Basically, the new definition is: "If I feel I didn't make enough money from the item, it is now a bootleg." RETARDED! Food for thought: why did Prince put the word "bootleg" on his self-released Crystal Ball??? I guess his definition used to be different back then, sort of like the name  ..."purplelectricity whenever our bodies touch" |

I respect Prince and certainly respect his right to pursue what he perceives as justice. But I did not pay $25 to join the NPGMC to chase the wild geese for them. If I have any of the items they listed, chance are I had to seek them out, dig through stacks of discs at used stores to find them. And I likely acquired them through perfectly legal channels (the act of buying anything at a local wreckastow is not a crime -- them selling illegal material is another matter). How about this -- I send in these materials, and for each item I send, I get $10 off merchandise from the club or a free membership next year?
If I were to send these items in, how about reimbursing me for postage? You can make the argument that "you should send the stuff in because it's just the right thing to do," but hey, when I ordered NEWS from the club, I had to pay THEM to mail it to ME.

And just the stuff that he promised for years and has released SHIT of it. And this crap email about bootlegs Brazilian DVD's and "unofficial" (whatever the fuck that means) has got nothing to do with all those wishes of yours he knows you have, but won't give you. I'm sending him something on that list and I'M NOT a member (yet) of his club.
smart move, NOT. Hey, if this helps Prince re-release AND release his Vault stuff, I'm all for it. It's part of doing the Work. No problem. Wake the fuck up dude. It won't help shit! If he really wanted to release the vault he would have done it along time ago. You are TRIPPING! I'm saving my pennies for that day when I see that stuff made available to come to my door! And that means I'm not wasting it on video games or W Boxes or meaningless DVD's, I'm re-directing the funds to what brings me joy, Prince's work.
Cool? Cool. Keep on waiting for eternity. | |
