Sorry, I disagree.

From conversations to date, it appears that Prince does not believe that Internet sites discussing him should exist.


Oh! Really? So will this be elaborated on in the PFU Update?


Yes

Sorry it's taking so long

Prince is in for a rude awakening. There will always be unofficial sites discussing him, his music, etc. Prince has lost grip of reality. Now he's trying to blame us because he's no longer capable of writing meaningful music. He can't handle rejection or opinions different than his own -- thus you see his music quality getting worse, his collaborators being dumbed down (real musicians, then to subordinates like Tony M and then nobody at all). All the "key" people who were involved in his music process are now gone, and therefore his music is stale, meaningless and empty. It's got no soul. How do you like them apples, Princey?

Don't think so.
It is a fuss over essential freedoms, it is also about understanding right from wrong, good intentions from (C) infringers and excessive threats of litigation.

If he dares he should sue.
No, he only threatens.

Typical methods of the `modern` world.

Like back in the old days when one would flash a weapon to shut people up.
From a stick to a stone to a gun.

No logical reasoning. Just bent reasoning, misquoted laws, etc.


calling the whole counter organisation PFU which could be easily read as "Prince, fuck you" and releasing the press statements are the same of weapon flashing.

AS WE ALL ANXIOUSLY WAIT THE RELEASE OF THE CRYSTAL BALL, HOW COOL WOULD IT HAVE BEEN 2 RECEIVE IT A DAY AFTER THE NOTICE OF ITS AVAILABILITY? WELL, WITHIN A MATTER OF MONTHS, THIS WILL B COME A REALITY...AS THE TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES, SO MUST R MINDSETS! LET'S TEAR DOWN THE WALLS THAT SEPARATE US AND UNITE UNDER 1 BANNER...

You may say that I'm a dreamer

A PFU statement will be made shortly

A phenomenal amount of work has been going on behind the scenes to protect internet based fans and sites,however for legal reasons we haven't been able to provide detailed updates until now.

Please bear with us whilst we put together the latest statement.


Thanks to all those here, and at HQ and Princefams, for all the time and effort they've put in for this. I hope it pays off (though it doesn't sound hopeful...)

Don't forget they're also doing Prince a favour by shielding fans from all his BS. If they'd just caved in and let him shut down the fansites he would have lost even more fans than he already has over this!

hmph! not good enough sorry. say thank you for every song of his you've ever heard and mean it.


Oh, I do that every day. I'm probably the only one here that doesn't try to find leaked information/copies of new music. I buy it when it comes and know that each release might be the last.



i feel you i will pay for good music, especially with all the crap that people are coming out with now it's just ridiculous!!!! soulja boy WTF??

It works both ways. If Prince wouldn't continually have Websheriff harassing his fans, some of them/us would probably post nicer things.

Check out this thread at Housequake; particulary Turnitup's post on page 9.

The delay is not down to NPG at all now, it's down to :

a) The team having the time to finalise things on the statement.
b) The legal guys checking it to see we haven't libelled anyone
c) The media guys to be ready to run with the story.

It just takes a little while to get all the ducks in a row.

Please remember the PFU team all work on this voluntarily in their spare time and have families and jobs that take priority.

If anyone feels they'd like to do more to help move things along more quickly, it would great if they could find us some FOC assistance from people in the PR industry.

I must ask this question cause I want to know what others are thinking on this. Does anyone think that this PFU stuff is going to make Prince change his mind about whatever is going on? Does anyone think it'll backfire in PFU's face before it backfire's on Prince's? I really don't know my damn self on this one but the whole thing makes me uneasy and I don't know if anyone is going to come out a winner in all of this. One thing is true, it's unbelievably sad.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Seeing words like libel and media can't be good. The good times are definately over.

i think it will work in PFU's favor. The public figure-entertainer is usually more hurt by the media when a story like this breaks and plus the fact that he's not doing interviews anymore to address anything. Get ready. neutral

religion has alot to answer for or rather those that follow it have.

see my old thread about the thought police! funny how f.u.n.k got renamed in order to be released through itunes it seems the line from the old book 'animal farm' is still pertinant in princes minds (and yes i do mean 'minds') or indeed those of his copyright enforcers

'all animals are equal but some are more equal than others'!

http://prince.org/msg/7/251943

as for idolatory being his main agenda or rather stamping it out BS

he has his videos all over aol and his Getty pics, he craves attention or he wouldnt do gigs like the grammies as a presenter hed go hide somewhere and create stuff like artists do, no he is a victim of his own success and unfortunately appears to believing his own spin.

he wants total control in a fast moving world where that just aint how its gonns happen any more. the people are free and we are allowed a voice via the net and we will voice our opinions. Close down one site another will emerge its an impossible task. The world has just gotten smaller guys and its shrinking as we post. old and young from everywhere can be together and converse freely, equally without bounderies that hamper normal life, colour, religion, proximity, sex, sexual persuasion, intelligence, money, all equal on the net.

Prince is never gonna stop that. and im not sure if he wants to or indeed why he should want to bring down the very thing ha has personally championed.


as i said religion has a lot to answer for. doesnt want to be an idol??? yeah right!!

What a lot of fuss and still no update.

It is just about one simple thing:

If it is legal to do as mr. Prince says we can't do.


As it sounds now (Turnitup said:

a) The team having the time to finalise things on the statement.
b) The legal guys checking it to see we haven't libelled anyone
c) The media guys to be ready to run with the story.
), they didn't get a nice agreement to go with the pre-cooked text mr. Prince would want them to publish.
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.
