PrintableI gotta tell you, the most trippy part of all this to me, is that at least one individual who has traded DVDs on the Housequake site, has gotten a letter from Prince's legal team. I think I would fall over if I opened my mailbox this evening, and there was a letter from Prince's attorneys in there. I would understand that it was his right, but I would be completely shocked.

Thanks for the kind words Dansa! And big thanks to Matt for the late nite investigatory work, I know Aaron appreciated it.
Handclapsfingasnapz said: TheOrgerFormerlyKnownAs said: Exactly. That's why I said that.
  it's just as old and tired as the "michael vs. prince" chit, man. y'know, i've been a member of the 'quake for about 3 years (probably longer than that, as their site was one of the first that i came across when i first got into the online prince steez 5 years ago) and up till now i haven't heard any ill-will towards the 'quake. they absolutely do not deserve all the piss-mouthed retorts and commentary that some folks have been giving them--hq is one of the remaining strong forces within the prince online community, not just for pictures and all that stuff but for their overall goodwill. hq is a rarity: a place where you don't get bombarded with the overbearing drama n'such, y'unnastand? no constant drone of either "omg liek prince is teh god!!!1111!1" or "prince can go to hell with nitroglycerin drawerz on!" it's well-balanced, and the people there are kind.
as for all this my-fansite-can-beat-up-your-fansite bullshit, it really needs to stop. honestly. if there's one thing that we ALL need to do right around now, it's to show some solidarity and support for those guys. free the 'quake.  |

GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS. as far as i'm concerned, this part of the discussion is over. no digging through my HQ posts, no digging through my HQ private messages, no pointing any plump little fingers at me. GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON. thanks!  | |

Only an arrogant, fan-bashing bastard like Prince would attack sites dedicated to him. [Edited 9/30/04 9:34am] | |

If it were your music and it was your livelyhood, you wouldn't try to stop people from selling/trading it?

Princey said, once upon a time:
right beside that "particular vibe you want me to make available" bit he shoulda drawn an asterisk; down towards the end of the letter a footnote: "4 a fee, of course..." plus he said "buy or sell"--we're talkin about trading and the discussion of such, now. as far as livelihood goes, like i said: shoulda took more care in protecting said livelihood in the beginning. | |

Tom said: And I have less and less sympathy for his battle with the big bad record companies. Because after all, he signed it away, it's their right to keep it.
It's all about ethics, when Prince needs something and the law isn't on his side. But when Prince wants to start some shit of his own, its all about the letter of the law.  "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

I just tried 1-800-NEW-FUNK to request a vibe as his letter says...but all it did was Ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring and ring..It feels like the Crystall Ball Fiasco ...alll over again. Christian Zombie Vampires | |
