I wouldn't make that wager if I were you - it's a lost bet. Nice post, but completely unrelated to the issue at hand. [Edited 4/13/07 12:14pm] to reiterate: I would wager if P had his way it would all be free with purple lemonade to boot.....but we ain't in that world.....dig? Really? So, how many fans have been tracked down for sharing his warez? ...unrelated? I suppose you don't remember him running around with "slave" etched on his face. ...say, did jimmi/miles/bird/etc get a taste of all the footage+photos made of him before the end?....nnnaaahhh.... Of course I dig seeing/hearing and having access to his warez via cyberspace....but not at his cost. It doesn't matter how much $$ he may have or whether I'm po'.... the confluence of his creative integrity [+eccentricities] dubious cyberspace law and biz REQUIRE that his legal folks do what they are doing. 
As soon as I hear, ahem, "fans" saying things like: "we are the ones that made him and we can break him if he don't play the way we want him to", I, for one would cheer wildly at him calling it a day and leaving yall to the likes of pdiddy/5o cent and timberlake.... You can't have it both ways. [of course: neither can he. The difference being when he makes an error FANS CAN MAKE IT MUCH WORSE by DISRESPECTING THEIR OWN HONOR. It's a 2 way street ya know....just as ya'll can get pissy about his errors YOUR ERRORS are out of his control....as you well know...can he EVER undo what fans bring into being via his inspiration? Anyone remember MJ giving Little Richard his master tapes back?...all of this is related.... Either you dig his trip and that which he requires to continue grooving or ya don't. I am not implying that P is without fault: the opposite actually....and it seems this time around he knows it a streetfight to the end. Being a fairweather fan that throws stones over percieved injury really ain't cool....like a romance gone sour where one party insists on meanspirited revenge at the cost of rendering the memory of love to dirt.... In any case....you don't support your assertions with reasoned arguments so I can only assume you are trollbaiting.... fans really ought to know their place: they can make all the difference in their own world | |

You really are a first-class wanker aren't you ? Either you're making an allegation that you went running to Prince to complain about the videos or you're over-inflating your ego by thinking that you being banned from HQ is connected in some way. Either way, your statement makes you look a right tosser. | |

Trust me if you have a LIFETIME ban from housequake you must have really f'd up because they make sure everybody has fair chances and get warnings before you're banned. they even send you emails to warn you your crossing the line, I know I got one for posting Musicology concert clips from youtube, but I'm cool now!

[Edited 4/20/07 4:48am] [Edited 4/20/07 4:49am] This is NOT true. I know someone who was banned 4 NO reason at all. | |

dv8xtc said: ....you folks might want to understand the mechanics of copyright law....this has less to do with P being a control freak per se and more to do with making sure his work is not annexed by another corporation.
these "video upload" sites are gunning to become annexed by mega-media corps and the laws are willy-nilly in cyberspace... The music is P's offspring: would you find it acceptable to leave it in the hands of "systems" [corps] who think nothing of pimping your kids out to make an easy buck, then tell U they are no longer your kids because you left them in "the playground" 1 day longer than a newly passed law stipulating that anything left on a CORPORATE [or any site you do not own] video site longer than "x" days/months creates the context where the corp can file a claim of joint copyright ownership? P's hedging his bets in favor of not getting bent over....again... "fans" can use email, dialog and peer to peer to share his grooves...[making sure to throw some $ his way now and again...cool?] supposing video sites made deals to share their ad revenue with the creators of the videos that keep fans using their sites I imagine P would be cool with it... I assume you are aware that NO ONE THAT POSTS VIDEOS GETS A "TASTE".... ...be like making the "content" for TV SHOWS AND MOVIES FOR FREE AND ALLOWING SOME MEGA CORP TO REAP THE $$ REWARDS AND ATTEMPT TO CLAIM COPYRIGHT CONTROL.... THIS AIN'T NO GAME IN CORPORATEVILLE FOLKS: They play for keeps and they PLAY DIRTIER THAN THE SCUMMIEST CRACK DEALER ON THE STREET....no joke... american idol anyone? [they could be makin these kids serious $ but instead they play head games and when it's all over who do you think profits from it?] Those kids could be selling tracks RIGHT NOW with all the PR the show generates....so why don't they just create some tracks so the kids can profit? why do you think everyones so uptight about the Sanjaya dynamic? He's doin it right: f*ck the "judges, the show, etc" and does his own thing....[kind like P and MJ...dig?] of course it is problematic that he ain't got P/MJ skillz but give him a minute or two....he's a kid....[I ain't gonna hold my breath, but that ain't the point] In any case: It is crucial to understand the juggernaught that is "corporate law" is the single most DESTRUCTIVE premise for ANY kind of creative person to deal with.... keep in mind P was "in the belly of the beast" and paid a steep price for it...[called lost time, amongst everything else] ....anyway: cut P some slack and dig the grooves when he decides HOW he wants to deliver them.... it's a funky edge to straddle; the artist vs biz headset.... meanwhile MJ's shizznit is being sold via auction and folks still don't get what the system attempted to do to him [take ALL his SHIZZNIT AND HOPEFULLY PROVOKE THE SPECTACLE OF HIM HAVING A COMPLETE MELTDOWN THAT LEADS TO ABSOLUTE SELF DESTRUCTION: for your viewing pleasure....and whatever his issues: he certainly doesn't deserve that....for what? being insecure?...give me a break..]....ya'll REALLY need to understand how PAINFUL this crap is to the artists [regardless of their personal issues] ---they deserve better from their "fans".... The "folks" in charge REALLY AIN'T COOL...AT ALL.....[and don't play nice at all] I have no doubt P can be an asshole when he wants to but that ain't what this is about..... I suggest y'all become the bread and butter for the leviathon before you start throwing rocks at P for making sure he's healthy and happy so he can continue making the grooves that make your world that much sweeter... Y'all do know HENDRIX's story, yes? ...and little richard...and so on and so forth.... Not a pretty picture to loose the best part of your life to cretins that use corporate law to steal..... ...suppose this site was makin some $ and made P an offer to pay him an annual royalty for the material fans post, and include copyright waivers etc...that would be a different story[maybe]....meanwhile: PRINCE is in whatever mode he is in NOW and probably ain't too thrilled with folks PROMOTING THEIR PERCEPTION OF HIM....kinda "been there, done that"...ya know? I know I'd be more than a little irritated with folks microscopically analyzing the hair on my ass and comparing notes and doing their best to find and BUY my old drawers [or panties...ahem].....gee whiz yall....i mean...rillly... I would wager if P had his way it would all be free with purple lemonade to boot.....but we ain't in that world.....dig? NICE POST! If I could be muse 2 the Pharoah...... | |
