I think the difference is that "they" (WebSheriff or whomever) asked HQ to remove the Prince avatars that HQ offers to its users as avatar options. The Org does not have an "avatar gallery," everyone here has to provide their own avatar pic. THus, I think it is okay (or at least Websheriff isn't bothering) if individual users upload pics of Prince as their avatars; there are still Prince avatars at HQ, just not any that HQ 'provided.' Of course who know how long it will last.... They also made HQ remove the album covers in their discography section, which is fucking ridiculous considering they seem to have no problem with Amazon posting the very same covers... Double fucking standard much? | |

Maybe he's feeling self-conscious about his looks...and he doesn't want people to see them(the pics) online...maybe he's scared worried or paranoid...maybe his woman doesn't want other women drooling over his pics so she told him to make everyone take them down along with his videos...heh.... | |

Yes, it's true. Technically they* asked Photobucket to remove the pics, but they knew exactly what they were doing. And again I ask, why is it okay for Amazon and All Music to use these very same images, but not Housequake? *Websheriff, I suppose.  | |

But how is it fair use for Amazon (which one could argue is making money from the image, as it's used to sell albums) or All Music (which is using the images in pretty much exactly the same way as the HQ discography) and not fair use for Housequake, a not-for-profit website? I call bullshit. If Websheriff is gonna be a dick about it, then they need to be a dick to all the websites using those images, not just HQ. Of course, maybe they tried the same thing with Amazon & All Music, but since those are huge corporate websites with a lot of money for fancy attorneys they laughed in Websheriff's face. Like I said elsewhere, I get the Youtube thing (even if I think it's a lost cause), but this stuff over photos of album covers and avatars is beyond petty. | |

The way you worded it made it seem like you thought it was fair use for amazon & all music but not HQ and that was logical... | |

While the lawsuit is getting going it make sense that all pics on the fans sites would have to come down too. When it comes to legal nitpicking it does get very petty!
I'm still not convinced it's permanent...when all of this legal business is settled maybe... He gets it! That's why the ladies love him...  | |

U got that right.
But then HQ think they represent the fans of Prince when in fact they represent the fans of HQ. Easy enough mistake to make when you've shoved that many bootlegs up your ass. mplsmike said: Seems to me Prince has a problem with HQ..and not the org.. | |

But seriously, I bet even if HQ asked permission, at this point they'd get a big fat "NO."

I noticted that too. I also noticted that PrinceFams.com has tons of pics of Prince, but really doesn't get messed with by the Web Sheriff as far as I know, cuz I haven't been there in a while. HQ always gets attacked. I think it has everything to do with the fact that HQ basically thumbed their noses at P over and over again a couple years back when they refused to take down the "Homecoming" boot performance when his people sent them the cease and desist letters. If I recall HQ's position was that because they were in the Netherlands (or where ever they are) and the boot was being sold in stores there that it was not in fact a boot but a legitimate release. P challanged them and the stores in the Netherlands and the courts sided with Prince. . [Edited 9/17/07 8:14am] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
