universal is only lookin out for interest of Prince i think they just did a google search and found the stuff there!! But if prince or his staff let HQ and the universal know then its possible to see these things back on plus its so easy to google and find stuff all over the net!! I mean i have HD version of the superbowl on my PDA i can play it anytime and the sound is nice too its only a 30MB file |

He's lucky to have such a company behind him and we can only assume that he's happy with them since he hasn't been complaining about them not allowing him "creative freedom". had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

I mean i have HD version of the superbowl on my PDA i can play it anytime and the sound is nice too its only a 30MB file Universal also looking out for their own interest too since they have to make to make money too off of Prince's as long as he signed under them. It is still unclear whether Prince directed them to Housequake or they stumbled across the page themselves and find the videos. But I got the feeling it was the latter since Universal had a tracking record of threating to sue other sites like Myspace and Youtube for having unauthorized videos. The reason why SO many people from all over the Princeland thought it was his doing because of his history of going after sites himself (meaning his lawyers). Someone had told me too that HQ agreed with Prince and his staff to allow the videos be available only by stream not downloadable so that explained why the videos were up for awhile. I hope that they are going to get this straighten out soon because Prince been signed with Universal for awhile, and it is kind of strange they are taking action now and it is hard to believe that they wasn't recently aware of Housequake and the videos. I think that having that very popular Super Bowl performance must have made them forced some action. [Edited 2/15/07 16:42pm] | |

metalorange said: Awww, this is a real shame. I'm surprised they let them keep the video section the last time they had a crack at Housequake over photos, I did think since the site is hosted in the Netherlands (I think) they have different rules on copyright and suchlike that the American law can't touch and that was why they were getting away with it.
Housequake did change the format so that you couldn't save the videos, only see them streamed, in that sense they only way they were giving them away was via the mind, perhaps the Paisley Police will sue us for having illegal images in our mind next! i've saved a about 50 videos from Housequake. it's a shame. | |

SexyBeautifulOne said: bellanoche said: Really? I was unaware of this. Is this documented somewhere? What does he get out of it other than the headache of dealing with a major record company? It sure is. I do believe we discussed it here when it happened but you can read about it here. I think some people are getting Universal Music Publishing confused with Universal Records. The deal to release 3121 was with Universal Records for a one-album deal. The deal with Universal Music Publishing for administration of Prince's songwriting royalties was entered into in 2000 (recently renewed) after his previous song publishing deal with Warner/Chappell expired.

Its not the record company universal its the publishing company universal which prince has used for a long time even when he was at sony his royalties were collected by universal publishing [Edited 2/15/07 15:01pm]

REALLY? That's surprising. I thought Prince was just in a one-album deal with them. That's odd that he would give rights to the other stuff, too. Just knowing what we know about Prince. Oh, well. | |

SexyBeautifulOne said: bellanoche said: I don't get this at all. So what is the nature of his relationship with Universal?
As I asked on HQ, does Prince have a new master? Does Universal "own" him. What claim would they have to all that old material that was recorded before he ever hooked up with them? This doesn't make sense. Oh just a little something called a 5 year Publishing deal that included collecting royalties owed to Prince for ALL of his past work. O.K., that's the past work. But current performances? Hmmm. . .I guess I could see it. | |

Remember, this is they guy that said music should be free, and said that we was thinking about giving the Gold Experience away.  : fixed | |

moderatorNO, NO, NO!!!!
Although, by the sound of it, Prince may have had nothing to do with it. It's very dissapointing, but it would be worse if the instructions came from him IMO. Anyhoot, he could still have been involved for all we know but I'll just live in ignorance-is-bliss-ville for now. (I didn't effect me in the short term because I havent been able to access HQ for the last week or so because of some 403 Forbidden crap, which has nothing do with being banned, btw....so if any IT experts out there know how to repair this, drop me a line). Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |
