Hello prince

If you readin this then I am afraid to admit that my son dances to all kinds of music I put on the reccy player, and most of it is yours. I, like any dotty parent have recorded such images on my camcorder for memory and to use against him when he gets older.

I have not put these images on utube, but for the love of man, give it a rest. It is not copyright infringment it is being a parent. So when the grandparents come round, and friends, and we play the recording, or I get him to dance for them, is that public performance?

No. Lighten up little fella. I love your music, my son loves music. What happens if I record me dancing to prince on the stereo and put it on utube, eh!

Lets hope nobody records Prince fans dancing to prince at a Prince party and puts that on utube, no more Prince parties.

I've never understood why the French call us roast beefs or fillet steaks, puzzles me a bit.

Anyway to answer your question, yeah, too right I'm looking after my own interests but the difference is that I don't study the bible/go to church/believe that God exists. That doesn't mean that I don't live my life in a morally correct way though. I do try to get on with everybody.

The big difference here is the fact that Prince believes to have the moral highground over others and he does believe in God and the word of the bible.....and then goes totally against that word. That was my point in the first place.

"Bifstek" is not really an insult... was just reading about the origins of this - it relates to the English custom of raising and consuming beef better and before anyone else in Europe. And you know France is all about food!

I know what you're saying - I'm just choosing not to judge his motivations on this... if his decision is truly wrong, you know, he'll just have to pay the consequences, right? That's very biblical, actually.

Prince is a little bitch. A funky-ass genius little bitch, but a little bitch just the same.

this makes prince sound like a psychotic control-freak...this shit turns people off from his music...including myself

Regardless of what the media reports, I find it EXTREMELY implausible that Prince personally "scours" the internet looking for this kind of stuff.

If anything, this is probably some convoluted attempt at publicity along the misguided vein of MJ's oxygen tank sleeping chamber story.

IF IN FACT he does spent countless hours on trivial pursuits of copyright infringment suits...then HE DESERVES to have his butt kicked on the charts by the likes of Justim Timberlake and (*gasp!*) Brittney Spears. His time would be better spent producing memorable music!

"He better not be dancing to any of my songs!"




Seriously, Prince has "gone crazy" a long time ago. He's got people scared to play his music in their cars!
"Eff" Prince and his music.
I like Stevie better anyway.

Do you believe in the public fair useage laws?

Do you think an artist should control who listens to their music?

have to agree with the last comment

i mean [b]would you want your art all over the internet??

[color=blue]Who wouldn't? Free promotion.

XxAxX said:

It's not like...or Al-Quaida posted the boot (R U Gonna Go My Way?) with the Osama bin Laden song on their website...

Actually, they probably could do that if they wanted to; depending on the copyright laws of that country. The copyright laws of the U.S. are only valid in the U.S. Once overseas, in many place, people can actually do what they want to with music, images, etc. and there would be nothing that could be done about it short of bribing the person(s) to stop, which would be foolish because others would do it to make a buck off the artist.

i didn't say that

XxAxX said:

Yeah, I was just going to point out that I posted that bit about Al-Quaida and the bin Laden song...not that it's anything bad necessarily, but yeah, I didn't figure anyone else would want to be attributed with posting that comment.

XxAxX said:

I know. Sorry. I cut & pasted wrong. oops.

You can like someone's music, but still think they are an asshole. I love Prince's music, but sometimes I feel the same way. He does tend to do things with no regard for anyone but himself and sometimes over petty things. You would think that he would have better things to worry about then some baby getting crazy on you tube.

Copyright is becoming a sensitive subject, it is sometimes difficult to draw a line. P has certainly employed people to protect his copyright, but I don't think those people will check with P each time before they take things off the website (I don't think P will have enough time in a day to do those petty things). P may not even know about this video until the incidence has occurred.

He needs some Pussy.

If he got pussy he wouldn't be thinking about how to sue toddlers.

He believes if you do not have a piece of paper saying 'married' then getting pussy is a sin.

Millions of people dying, being raped, kidnapped, living in poverty but god is bothered if you don;t read the bible and follow jehovah. O.k then Prince; 'the truth'

I think it's wrong for Prince to threaten any people with lawyers. Essentially, we are the hands who feed him. We are the people who have made him wealthy.

And besides, we are the ones who supported his online releases, such as the Crystal Ball online scam, and stood by his side during those dark times in the mid 90's to 2004. I think it's ethically wrong for him to demand so much, most of it not even legally justified. The thing is that Prince doesn't have a big fan base -- sure, some of the masses will pay $31 to see him perform, but we're the ones who will give his new music and his new studio albums a chance. To threaten his small online fan base, his hardcore followers, is pathetic. He should treat us as ... well... Kings. But I think Prince's mind is so warped and he's been alone in Paisley Park for so long, he doesn't understand basic concepts. His mind is so twisted from worshiping a false God, etc. Plus he's getting old and senile.

I guess it's like Morris said... "Like father, like son."
