Yes, we're fans...

But first and foremost we're consumers! We are the ones that buy the merchandise. Whether it's music, videos, concert tickets, movies, pictures, t-shirts, perfume, earrings, key chains, newspapers or tattoos. Without us, the merchandise is worthless!

As consumers, we have rights too! It's high time that the record industry, the motion picture industry, the radio industry, the media, self appointed web sheriffs and Prince realize that!

With all that's going on, on the internet, the rights of consumers are being dismissed because of volume! The entities I mentioned are looking at the numbers and under the impression that if they completely controlled the merchandise, they'd control the market.

That's not allowed offline and it should not be allowed online!

I've had time to think about this whole PFU movement and I applaud all of the owners of the sites involved for having the courage to take a stand!

It's a beautiful thing to stand up to someone that's hurting you, even if it's someone you admire and respect.

SexyBeautiful...It's wonderful to gather around the Love of the music, The love for the man, and I'm sure Prince is only upset by the mean and unecessary comments.

Too many people try to put words in Prince's mouth.

We aren't talking about Prince in 1978...He's reached the top. Prince cannot
be called names...This fan thing, can't be, (He's rubber, they are glue, type
stuff)Prince is a Legendary human being. A beautiful guitar player.

Prince is a man and not a child. I am talking with u sexy, and only
addressing the point....A fan-site that will continue to succeed will be one
that carries members that have a sincere disposition.

I just wanna come out and say it....

No more fag talk, No more discussions about his girlfriends, his wives, his son. Prince has the right to private love and grief. The music is ours because he gave it to us. Prince Loves us for wanting his music.

My understanding is, it's about his rights to his image, copyright, etc...
Not Peace, Love, Dove, stuff....
Hell. I need some good hashish for that state of mind....green tea won't cut it.
Define "sincere disposition".....

this is a website, not a cult. independant thinkers.
