Really, truly disgusted with the YouTube situation.

You know - I've had so much fun on YouTube these days looking random shit up and I'm getting more and more upset about Prince making sure none of his stuff is posted. You know what Prince? I paid for this shit at some point or another, trust me those CDs are all sitting in my library. I just want some easy access to some videos or some movie scenes. It's painful I can watch fuking almost every other artist, but the only Prince vid is Black Sweat which is only up there due to some oversight by some YouTube watchdog.

Sorry, but I just had to vent!

I guess since Prince doesn't wanna live in his past glory, he doesn't want anybody else to live in it, not even his own fans who helped him create that glory.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Right...like without the mention of the site in this thread there's no way they would have ever heard of it. Seriously, do you think his "people" are *really* that stupid?? rolleyes

Okay I don't mean to be an asshole to you but for the love of GOD. If you know a place where you can see Prince vids why in the hell would you broadcast it over here.

Prince's people are looking for this shit. They come to places like this to here us talk about it and then they shut it down.

[Snip - luv4u] You can't just let the info out there like that. Trust me all those vids are going to disappear soon now.

As fans we are forced to act "stupid and blind" to these little gems! Trust me when Youtube was first getting started we all talked about it with reckless abandon around here and look where that got us.....Black Sweat on Youtube albeit for a short time.

Just a heads up.

[Don't give directions snip - luv4u] . Now, do you really think that Prince's people are too stupid to use google to search places that have his videos, and instead pick through the forum on this site? If that's the case, I'm gonna send him my resume!

Stupidity isn't the real question now is it? I think they look at our exuberance and usage and then snap that stuff right up. Sure I think that happens all the time.

That's why incase you haven't noticed there is a strict "NO BOOTLEGGING SOLICITATION" policy on this site. Its not that they can't find the bootlegs themselves but they will use us to help them out. Then the org gets in trouble as being bootleggers themselves

Nope, that's the official Universal page.

I think Prince should have his official page, Michael Jackson has one.

If Prince was smart he would, he'd start a page where you can subscribe to see his old stuff. As a 15 year fan, I kind of feel robbed...

I'm going to write a damn business case for a fan site and send it to that sexy MF and see if he bites. Probably steal my damn idea and then have me killed to silence me.

[Edited 9/1/07 6:34am]

Dude, Prince's people will do ANYTHING to find out where stuff like that is, including coming here and seeing who will be naive enough to blurt out where you can find Prince stuff. He's got vultures in his camp. They are not to be messed with. It's such a shame we have to be so secretive about shit like this.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Wow. This is pretty ridiculous. First of all, you guys must think that the people Prince hires to do this kind of work are 6th graders, or people who have only recently discovered the wonders of the internet. There is no way that by censoring a name in a forum on this site, that will prevent one of those people from finding a website that is so easily found with a simple google search. Not to mention how silly it is to actually censor the 'directions' to find it. rolleyes

Alright, fine son! I hope you don't start whining when they do get taken down, though. I mean, really. Why should we be a source to the source, huh? Makes no sense. Goodbody rare "Prince" videos. Goodbye.....

Well all I know is that as soon as I got my computer, that is how I found ALL of his videos sites because folks were posting the address in HQ and this forum and from what we know somebody already logged in is the spy, there are ways to get information to a person without posting it on the board for everyone to see.

Well I think you are just trying to misunderstand. If Prince's people didn't come on here and fish for info. The Org wouldn't have such a strict and I do mean strict anti bootlegging stance.

Maybe you haven't been here long so you don't have a frame of reference from which we are speaking. Maybe you should ask a moderator of how it was on here about 4 years ago before Musicology dropped.

Then after you have been properly educated on the subject if you still want to call everyone ridiculous that's your call. Until then you speaking on subject you have no idea about or you are just ignoring the facts.
