...fans playing bootlegs of his unrelease material around him?

Say you work in the stereo section of Best Buy or something, and Prince walks into the store, and you pop in one of The Work CDs and blast it up loud for the whole store to hear.

i'm sure he's used to it. he knows his hardcore fans are well acquainted with his bootleggage. on certain levels he's appeared fine with that knowledge in the past.

He'd go across the street to Circuit City and drop a million dollars, then come back and tell you boss what he just did, and why.

^^^ Circuit City is still around? I thought they went boke in 2000. wow.

They still got them here in Dallas....unlike K-Mart.

Prospect said:

wow. there's an old building where circuit city was b4 and its been boarded up for @ least 5 years.

hahahaha we still got a circuit city and a Kmart here in whack ass delaware

Prospect said:

same goes for whack ass Maryland next door

they just opened up a new one in my city a month ago. i prefer them over Best Bastards any day of the week. Much better customer service! Best Bastards makes you weight half an hour just to get a price or answer a simple question

Here's a bit more interesting scenario that I've often wondered about:

What if a band released a cd of covers of unreleased songs?

But at the time all the songs were unreleased bar When 2 R In Love.

JudasSmile said:

I know.

he might just go over to the player pop it out and take it with him.. it is his after all.

tznekbsbfrvr said:

lol- no one even goes by that area nemore. CC has such bad customer service, and the store is always messy- ugh.

I seem to remember this happening somewhere and he got the person working there to give it to him. like 'this is stolen property, give it back'. I could be completely making it up though. Anyone back me up?

I haven't got a clue...

either he'd let it go cuz he's used to it or he'd take action...

I don't know him that well, so I'm basically clueless.

I always wondered what Mani did with hers when they got married. She used to post on some fan site/message board (not here or HQ) way back in the day and there are posts of her asking whether the shows were bootlegged after the concerts...

in general I don't think he'd be as upset as we think he might be...
but if someone were to go out of their way as in the example...well then he might feel compelled to go take it just to not be shown up or something.

I think you misread my post

I dont know why no club djs or owners
ever play his unreleased tracks. Would it
be illegal?
