I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH YA PRINCE!!! You know I think I understand why Prince is suing for content and as much as I love the org I am on the side of Prince. Not to the extent that he is taking it but for the idea why!! Check this video out!
http://www.youtube.com/wa...wBXV1xLcY0 Now do you really want to see that bullshit with Prince music behind it? Like he says in the new song. He doesn't want you, me or anybody but him using his music or likeness to get their 15 minutes of fame! This is why he isn't letting us post the pics of him anyomre, as well as showing his videos and what not. See one of the reasons we all like Prince is because he is so different than every other star. He doesn't completly whore himself out, you're not gonna see a Prince reality show. With Prince its either you enjoy and respect the music, his music, the way he writes and performs it or you can be out!! So we won't get alot of bootlegged material on youtube or even this very site. We won't get to hear obscure cuts in a public form. BUT what you will get is great music, both old and new. You will get incredible live shows that have no equal on this Planet. And most importantly you will get an artist that gives a fuck about what the hell he has created. He wants you to get it but only if you can take the journey and if you can't, see ya!! So that's my thoughts on this and yes I hear ya Prince and I agree with your point. THE CARDINAL HAS SPOKEN!!! | |

Isn't that a way for someone to get famous, using someone else's position? Well that's completely different. He didn't open for them and then go out and play their music or worse still make a mockery of their music. Also he had to get permission to do so. I mean he didn't just show up in Buffalo NY and start playing before Rick hit the stage. He had to sign contracts and get approval and all that good stuff!! So while he was able to use other's fame for a spring board he didn't just rely on that. What some of these people do imho is use an artists work and bastardize it. Prince does'nt what that to happen to his music and for that I agree with him, THE CARDINAL HAS SPOKEN!!! | |

If he doesn't want his music bastardized, he shouldn't release any. He should get a real job at McDonalds and find out what real work is.

Prince n his camp trying to put the Org in the same boat as PirateBay is nonsense .. no one on this site has downloaded any videos from this site (which is the argument of the case).. and the Org is not making any money from the gallery... how do they explain the Org is making money here? jail time n compensation charges are being brought up here and it's nonsense | |

Well I LOVE both of those songs so I definetly disagree with you on that point. BUT regardless as to how you feel about the songs the artist has a right to see their work respected. Believe it or not JK Rowling with the Harry Potter seris or Quentin Tarintino of film fame all have their work copywritten and protected. You could no more write a "legal" Harry Potter story than you should be able to create a non sanctioned Prince video. Put it this way how many people rework the "Mona Lisa"? How many people's re-workings are considered art? NONE. This is fair and its real regardles of how you feel about said artwork.Whether you like it or not does not give you the right to desicrate it. Now you can simply not purchase the art because that is well within your right as a consumer but you don't get to desicrate it no matter how you feel about it. THE CARDINAL HAS SPOKEN!!! | |

Why is his art any less valuable and respected? man, you're doing a fancy dance around my argument that could get you first prize in a cake walk! 
"oh please with the gestapo stuff"? you're kidding, right? if someone told me that prince would sue a family for posting a video of their baby dancing with one of his songs in the background, i would have laughed and said "c'mon, even PRINCE isn't THAT petty." guess what? oh, and uh, OH YEAH: this very web site was ordered to take down over 3,500 images, including pics of prince-themed license plates and tattoos. how is a prince-themed license plate prince's intellectual property? that doesn't even make sense! but guess what? prince can afford to bully us a lot easier than we can afford to defend ourselves. if you think THAT is fair then yeah, you and i have some FUNDAMENTAL differences. as for the usage of paraphernalia, i'm not even talking about repurposing a license product for my own means AND YOU KNOW THAT. i'm talking about INCIDENTAL placement of said paraphernalia. say i took a picture of me and my best friend and there's a damn tamborrocca hanging on the wall in the background. based on WHAT IS ALREADY HAPPENING, prince can get his thong all in a knot and sic his legal pit bulls on me for tarnishing his legacy with my horribly disrespectful photograph. hell, prince should buy stock in photoshop because if this catches on and every artist takes his stance, we're all gonna be a nation of photo altering, litigation-rattled fools! 
i've been respecting that man's art for most of my life and all the money i've shelled out proves it. i'll be damned if i have to worry about hiding it so prince won't sue me. but you know, i get where you're coming from - freedum iz an illusion, all luv 2 prince and b wild and all that, lolz | |

Actually, George Lucas doesn't mind a thing (without his permission) as long as it not for commercial gain. He actively promotes fan sites and networks. He is very controlling, but only on people profiteering from his product. Prince could learn a thing or two from him. George even employs a full time fan relations manager to ensure the fans are considered. . |

Most of these "so-called angry fams-united" seem to be this way.. Prince fell for their trick, and gave a couple of them international fame. Do you really believe that theses sites would close if they could post photos of him? No. These sites are all these people have in The World. It's their identity.

http://www.youtube.com/wa...wBXV1xLcY0 Now do you really want to see that bullshit with Prince music behind it? Like he says in the new song.

So that's my thoughts on this and yes I hear ya Prince and I agree with your point. u know the Frightening thing is, and i have read of actual occurances of what i will relate next.This is Enlightening and here is the gist. If a person writes or creates something. and some other being is lawless enough to later change the meaning or words after the Author died,because strangers decided to use someone elses art wrongfully, then a whole lot of people would be in the dark as to the true meaning of the Song, Lyric, Book any Artistic Creation. Someone could ruin someone else's honest Artistic Works or Creations for whatever reason they chose. i read about something similar in a local paper a while back , i wish i had kept the Aritcle for reference. | |

The whole defective mentality behind the suing is very self-centered, totally oblivious to a functioning networking society, unrealistic and unenforceable. Art comes from other art. Not from a vacuum. Prince is a genuis but his rap parodies are just one example of using someone else's influence. "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief" -Bono.
Parody/satire of another artist's work is protected usually. The notion that other people are leeching off his fame? Okay, so like what 1% of society with nefarious aims playing his background music on a video for example? Bootlegging..okay that's understand. The other vast percentage recognizes his brilliance by using his images, that's called COMMUNICATION, basic human behavior since the dawn of time, especially relevant for someone who CHOSE to be a PUBLIC ARTIST. So he doesn't want to be a musical muse/influence/inspiration to anyone anymore? Likewise, it's not only about the music. That's nonsense. It's always been about his image and teasing the public with sexual innuendo especially from his girl bands. So now he feels taken advantage of and unable to manipulate the masses apparently. This whole endeavor he's undertaking on technicalities under the law is a fight that will only hurt him and it's THE BIGGEST MISTAKE/LACK OF JUDGEMENT of his career and it's becoming increasing clear his behavior has become SOCIOPATHOLOGICAL. Sad to say, but something's clearly out of sync. I hope he drops this nonsense. | |

Flowerz said: Prince n his camp trying to put the Org in the same boat as PirateBay is nonsense .. no one on this site has downloaded any videos from this site (which is the argument of the case).. and the Org is not making any money from the gallery... how do they explain the Org is making money here? jail time n compensation charges are being brought up here and it's nonsense
 Exactly right. prince.org has been very respectful of Prince... In the end the stuff that goes on here leads to money in his pocket... prince.org doesn't allow any illegal music files or videos, or allow any links to anything like that. | |
