A couple of people are *supposedly* called-out in a song, now he's supposedly attacking all of his fans.. lol lol lol

What a lie!

These fan-sites will still go on (like they are now) without photos, footage, or anything else that he can change legally. I've read some PF-internet-radicals going to other type of boards trying to "Drum-up support", and that's when we know "it's gotten far out of hand".

These sites won't end. They're no photos now! Why aren't the sites closed already? It's not happening, and won't happen becasue these photos are not that important to the common "Fam".

BTW: There are no postings of any orders from Prince's attorney on any of these sites. Let's see what he has said via his attorneys, and Universal's attorneys..

Why can't those legal notices be posted?

I'd bet that if those notices were really "juicy-negative" for Prince, they would be all over the internet. I just think that some people really have "an itch to scratch with" Prince (and it's been brewing for years--totally un-necessary).

I also find it hilarious that Prince takes all of these "profane and perverted shots" on these boards from certain individials, but when he *supposedly* gives a "lyrical-jab" to a few fansite owners in song, certain idividuals cannot handle it all of a sudden..

Alot of pople cannot take the shots they give, but this is ridiculous..




Um, welcome to the conversation late there pal.
The REASON why the legal notices aren't posted is because Prince's reps COPYRIGHTED THEM. So even POSTING them gets you a lawsuit. They of course did this ON PURPOSE.

And who "can't handle" the "lyrical jab"? lol
I mean, PFUnk is a joke. The only ones who seem to have their panties all moist over that song is the fams.

I mean a 50 year old man, opening up the helium tank (oh, excuse me. dusting off "Camille"), and spouting some nonsense that barely applies to the issues, is that REALLY a "diss"?

When u miss Prince...Remember that the imagination goes a long way.

When I want to see him in a purple Zanta suit, I just close my eyez
When I wanna pretend he's Zpiderman, I just do.
When I wanna feel spooky, I think of a rock and roll Batman.

I even pretend he's singing on the radio.
If I could sell my dreamz... U would buy them. No arguments please.



You need frickin' meds. That is not meant to be an insult.

What’s best?
a) Being intimidated by Prince
b) Being intimidated by resentful fans
c) Not being intimidated by anyone

I choose c).

well, every time i've wanted his albums or to see him in concert, he's wanted my money and i've given it to him. meanwhile, i think just about any of my "friends" wouldn't give two shakes of a dead dog's weinerschnitzel if i took a picture in my house and a photo of them happened to be in the background. judging prince's demands on fans based on the standards of my "real" friends isn't a terribly realistic comparison. lol

I think if the site dropped the Prince:Music and More, the site would lose a lot of dead weight.


if the other forums were the targets instead of what u'r saying, wouldn't more bandwith from this site would b increased because of the dead weight talk that happens over there?
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Ben created this site in honor of Prince the artist and musician, to discuss his music and for his fans to come to, that is why it is prince.org
If his name was anything else it would be anythingelse.org

The reason why this site has any traffic in the first place, it is because it uses his name Prince and his image. Right now it is simply a place for his non-fans and ex-fans to bash him rather than celebrate his work and they try to run this place by intimidating other fans... just my :2 cents:


No the reason this site has traffic is because its filled to the brim with interesting, intelligent, smart, witty and fun people. There much more here than simple prince adoration. The site may have started that way, but as with all things it has grown and changed. Its now much more than a prince fan site.

Hell, Ive been a fan since the early 80's and I visit this forum less than any other, but thats cause I don't feel the need to worship all things prince. I keep coming back to this site, cause of the people who make it interesting.

Really lets be honest for a minute, The PMM is nothing more than a forum for a very few select fams that rehash the same tired old subjects again and again. The only time this forum gets any hits is when something is happening, which anyone could find anywhere else by just using google.

GD, PNMM, P&R are much more fun and interesting than this board. Thats what keeps people coming back on a daily basis, they may be prince fans but thankfully the people on here have many different views and ideas that they love to express with each other.

Personally I think that whatever happens, if the site name is changed, if the prince idols are dropped, or whatever this site will continue cause it has a fiercely loyal base.

So let the revolution begin, Its easier to make big changes than it is to make small ones.

rant over.


this is ur opinion. i come 2 this site 1st off 2 talk about music and in that have found friends that either like the same music as i do and not that I have a tootache and start a thread about it.

sigh

Oh but it is!

As reported by nearly every news agency in the world:


These Web sites, along with several others, have "received notices to cease and desist all use of photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince's likeness," and been told to provide "substantive details of the means by which you [the fansites] propose to compensate our clients [Paisley Park Enterprises, NPG Records and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG)] for damages..." The demands go as far as mandating that the sites pull down pictures fans have taken of their own tattoos, as well as photos of their Prince-inspired license plates.

That's just another perfect example of why I find it utterly laughable that he has the audacity to have a problem with these fansites!


With the exception of purchasing the tickets (I positively loved the member presales) any other information I've needed such as...places to meet up before and after, parking, hotels, aftershows, seating charts, set lists, readable reviews, etc. I've always had to get from and share with the people on these fan sites. Hell, we should sue him for back wages because we were the ones doing the work his PR people should have been doing!

Isel

After further consideration, I've decided to support what the owners of this site choose to do. So I'll support what ever they want. I don't really care what Prince wants because Prince is going to be fine one way or another. He's already made his fortune and will continue to do what he's always done. I'm not so sure if I will continue to support him, but I'm sure Prince isn't losing any sleep over it. However,if the owners here choose to "delete" Prince, fine. If they don't, fine. I ain't going anywhere.

As far as being a "fam" of Prince's, he's not part of my family and I'm not part of his. He’s not even a friend: he is a public figure-an artist who has made a lot of money off directly or indirectly not only his music, but his image, including but not limited to one of a rebellious social commentator--even a sort of provocateur through his lyrics. His music, his image, and his antics have given me a lot of joy (?) over the years, but I don't owe him a damn thing just as much as he doesn't owe me anything either. In the final analysis we had a "business" arrangement--not a personal one. Would he come to my aid if I were in trouble? I think not.

So I'm not going to make my "relationship" to Prince any more than it is--even though the use of the word "fam" attempts to appeal to our need to belong. As far as Prince and probably most all other artists, the reference to "family" in any way is simply a marketing ploy--even treading upon "cult-like" territory: in Prince's "family," for example, the unconditional love is only one-sided with the members of his "fam" being the givers when the going gets tough. That doesn't seem quite fair or realistic. It seems to me, a person can only be a part of Prince's family on his terms, and that's not usually how family's operate.

But if even it were possible, lawsuits among "family" members or between friends usually cause irreparable damage. So after this current tirade, maybe his image isn’t worth much to a number of fans--former fams-- even to the point their appreciation of his music is impacted? More often than not, Prince can’t have it both ways even though the law might protect him in certain respects. Consequently,he’s going to lose this war even though he might be able to win a few battles. That’s his choice. If he wants to play hardball, fine. But in the long-run, that ball is going to come back and hit him in the face. Now as far as how much he'll be "injured," that remains to be seen.

Hey.. maybe the owners should rename this site: The Online Fan Community, Formerly Known as prince.org, or would that be a copyright violation, too?
