You "own" your work, with your lawyers harassing anyone who dares posts a clip of your work on Youtube. Great, right? Well because of this mess, I'll never buy another one of your albums or anything you ever "create." I'll just download it for free. Heck, I don't subscribe to BET, so I downloaded your "Shoe" video for free. Your lawyers have accomplished nothing. I can still find and download any of your albums, songs, or bootleg concerts anytime I want. Why waste money paying lawyers who accomplish nothing? Plus, you've lost paying fans. You're a genius!

That's not very nice. Congratulations on being a thief.

do you feel better after that rant? now go watch purple rain and chill.

With all due respect to you, I doubt that your opinion has any impact on how Prince feels.

Honestly, how is it you expect Prince to feel about LSpear76 choosing to illegally download his material? Or for that matter, how do you expect Orgers to feel about it, as Prince will probably never read this thread. If Prince has angered you to the point of creating this post, why download his music at all? Why not just stop listening to Prince altogether and delete your Org account?

What do you accomplish by attempting to taunt Prince by following through with threats to steal from him? Are you trying to change his M.O.? Or does creating this thread serve another purpose for you? Don't get me wrong; I'm not so puritanical about downloading music. But I'm not inclined to post about it.

I understand that you seem to be feeling upset (that Prince has chosen to protect his business by attempting to enforce copyright laws that were set up to do so), and I mean you no disrespect at all. But I'm just wondering.

But ur still here.So that sayz what??

Exactly. Didn't this guy say the same shit a few months ago? Homeboy must have torette's or some shit. Just talking loud and saying nothing. It's so hard to let go.

Wonder what possesses a person 2 join a site of a person that they have no love 4 in the 1st place??

sexxydancer said:

THANK YOU!!!!! I've wondered and said the same you've said before sexxydancer. It makes no damn sense for people like that to do that to themselves and then we have to deal with it too. They will hurry up and call you and I the crazy ones for still digging Prince and say we're not objective and that we're drinking the "Purple Kool-Aid" while they don't realize that they are doing the exact same thing. Besides, why do they even care? They're sick of Prince anyway and they tend to be stuck in the 80's or 1995 if they're lucky. Those people are mental, I'm fully convinced of that. What a mess.

Everyone knows the situation behind prince and all that he's going thru. True, some of us are pissed over the things he's doing but any diehard Prince fan knows that ...well, this is Prince we're talking about. Going after youtube and the other sites that downloading his stuff is business. He's just saying that it's illegal 2 download his music from sites that's giving it away for free. Would U like it if someone broke in your house and stole all your stuff and gave it away for free? No, I don't think so. I don't have no beef with Prince on that matter. The only beef I have is that he's attacking fansites that's support him. Sure the issues with the pictures are crazy but no one on either Housequake or the org is giving away downloads for free or even promoting how 2 get them illegally. So U say that u won't buy his cd anymore...so F*%kin' what? He hasn't came back here in Memphis since his Musicology tour and I'm not bitchin' about not ever going 2 another concert again. Like I said b-4 and I'll say it again, HE"S HUMAN! And maybe u're the reason why he's targeting Housequake and the org. So why don't u go 2 a studio, get in a booth for 9 hours or more each day, get a record deal for one million dollars for one record, pay everybody back and have about $25,000 dollars left, and put your cd out so u can make up the loss and get some money and guess who will be the first person downloading your sh*t 4 free.....ME! And I'll go on one of your fan sites and post "How do u like it now...U DUMB ASS!
