Why can't we post doctored pics of Prince?

Just saw this on another website...

you can't post doctored pictures of Prince, or you'll be subject to being sued.

Why is Price such a weird control freak? Is it because he's soooo short? Well, DUHHHH, we already know that. It's pretty obvious. lol

Why does Prince think he is above freedom of speech and freedom of expression? Has he not ever heard of caricature?

Can someone please explain why he thinks he is a JW, yet tries to amass huge amounts on money by fleecing his fans (hahaha fleecing, that's funny, because of all of his sheep who take this shit and do nothing)

When I first joined the org, there used to be a long photoshop thread that was hilarious.
Andy is a four letter word.

Irony is funny sometimes.

I wrote Prince as Price.


In other words, what price are you willing to pay to be a fan of someone who looks down upon you as if he himself were God?

I don't mean to be so blunt, but fuck, how much of these games are we gonna take? I'm tired of it, aren't you? Everything has to be so cryptic with him, it's like that South Park episode with Mr. Jefferson. GROW THE HELL UP PRINCE!!

Those threads were great. Shame they don't happen any more.

Is it against the rules here to post photoshopped images? I didn't see that in the blurb with the blinking text.
U been bamboozled, hoodwinked, took.

to answer your question, a "parody" of a picture is not illegal, it is allowed under copyright laws. However, one like the one above where someone alters the original image as depicted in the use of the "finger" actually is considered copyright violation.

you can draw a caricture of prince, and you are perfectly free to do so. you many not, however, alter a copyrighted item. BTW...most pics out there are not owned by Prince anyways. The maker of the photograph is the owner, not the subject. For example, pics taken of him on the red carpet are not owned by him, they are owned by the person snapping the picture. Companies like wire image then pay a licensing fee for those pictures.

Likewise, if you are in the crowd and snap a picture of Prince on the red carpet, you are now the copyright owner of that picture.

Getting the picture wink here?
