You folks should be careful about the avatar pictures you're using. NPG Records gonna send you to jail.

Trick or treat?

you write a book and some 1 copies certain sections of it, shares this online as their own creation, or has has mass copies made for distribution (as in the Internet, numbers grow).

do they have the right to do that? would you share?

Prince is an artist who is standing up for his rights...I wonder if any one ever thought to ask the man for his permission to do some of the stuff they do with his art his "intellectual property."

prince is an asshole!

I know people personally who have met him. My sister used to live in London and was an air hostess. You guess the rest. Very rude with no respect
He does not care about others.

Behind closed doors he is not nice at all.

I don´t get Prince.

the staff at 3121 Vegas said he was a nice guy. he said she said.

Ted Bundy was a charming, smart and articulate man. SO what? Anyone is nice sometimes.

fcukthepolice said:

ahh, you're right, if a murderer and remorseless serial killer can be nice so can Prince.

Giovanni777 said:

Having worked at law firms I know you're probably right about this one - lawyers sue you for even less. Knowing Prince's sense of humor he would probably laugh if he saw the video himself.

Exactly

ZFunc said:

That's not what's happening here. Look at it realistically and not philosophically and hypothetically. A woman made a little home video of her child dancing. The child was dancing to a Prince song. That's it. Its not some multi-national corporation using his song to sell liquor to underaged children or anything crazy like that. Nobody is trying to cut into his royalties. A video...for the family to see...OF THE CHILD. You are obviously ignorant of fair usage laws in the U.S. with regards to music. Please catch up. Prince will lose this lawsuit. It was very foolish on his part. This is not an illegal download issue but a fair usage issue and the simple fact is you can only control your art WITHIN REASON. This is not one of those times.

Whatever! Attack the babies, it's all the rage

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yea, Prince should write Overseer on his face!

Is there anyway we can contact this lady?

For such a "spiritual man", doesn't Prince realize he can't take this with him. Is this man going to be buried with his recordings and videos so no one will take them.

Imagine if Michael Jackson sued for all those Thriller parodies on Youtube, btw, what's the views on those.

7,956,325 - CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial...
5,480,302 - Indian Thriller
3,729,840 - Wedding Thriller Dance

15million views....

How many views did this baby video get? Imagine if Prince was getting millions of views with his music in the background from people parodying his work. What's wrong with him? He has his fans scared to even trade his music, while other bands and artists give away bootlegs and have major forums and sites where people can trade. Prince fans have to be all cloak and dagger and shit, like we're smuggling drugs. Prince then lost his damn mind, he's shit is not even hot anymore, Nobody is rocking Planet Earth brother, NOBODY!!!! You need as much free advertising as possible!

Prince is Prince, and he will always be that way. and i don't have a problem with that.

Let's try it out.

What if i post a 29 seconds video on youtube.

Me and my wife making love with eachother.
On the background a big screen of the video with the baby.

Can she neglect that? or shall she complain and force youtube to remove the video.

Wouldn't she rather give some permission for what kind of video her dancevideo would be used to? or can we all use it like we like to?

judge this and you have you're answer

Besides

Prince only want to give permission..
He don't ask for money

that change the hoax

catwoman555 said:

your example is bad because due to the content/nature of your scenario and the age of the baby I think it would be illegal to post that on Youtube or anywhere for that matter.

What if:

what if i send the baby dance video to "best video" and win 50.000 dollar with it.

the money goes to the sender of the video.

what will she do?
go after the money because it is her child and video?
or leave it all alone because i can do what i want the that video?

judge this again

catwoman555 said:

Tv/radio stations are obliged by law to seek out the true copyright holder also Tv/ radio channels etc pay for a music license to play music so even if that scenario happened the artist would still get paid.

katt said:

It's not a bad example because you give the correct answer
the woman may not use prince music because he is the owner of the used music.
She may use the video if she remove the music first.
that's means no sound or a dubbed version.

thanx

catwoman555 said:

what kind of mindsnatched dronebot crap is this? This woman posted something that happened in her home. Her baby danced to music. It could have been any music, it just happened to be Prince. Does Prince have the right to control every aspect of a person's life just so long as his music is a part of it? Any reasonable person would say no. This case is ridiculous and I can't believe people side with prince on it, although considering the kinds of folks that populated the NPGMC I really shouldn't be surprised at all....

wonder505 said:

if the video on the background looking accidentely and.
me and my wife doing something that looks that we are doin it

still than?

Besides you give also a correct answer already.
You see it as a whole. the two people and the video
not just to people

that means the video of the kid is an important part of the whole video.

that means the background music from prince is important for the video of the kid.

Giovanni777 said:

No personal offence to you dearie, but I find this is a genralized mode of thinking that has me wondering WHAT BRAND OF CRACK PEOPLE ARE SMOKING TO CREATE SUCH LOGIC

A lawsuit couldn't be filed without his involvement and support. Regardless of who scours, scrunges and reports back to the suits (himself included). It's no big secet he's a controlling ass about his music, image, and likeness to suing everybody in and out of their assholes until they're chapped and crackling...but this ,good grief, really takes the cake

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

you mean "bad example" or really "kind of mindsnatched dronebot crap is this'

in the firtst case it is discussable...
in the last case are you the only one who is trying to dominate other people's intellectuel way of thinking. just by using unneccery words just to put people into a bad corner. think of this..

Prince is a really strong person.

People have been saying things about him for years. People have said things like he is gay or weird or not a not a very nice person in real life. He just basicly ignores it most of the time. He doesn't let it affect him. Good on you Prince.
