How did Prince Manage to release those albums as  in the '90's like Emancipation? How did he manage tog et around WB? I know that he changed his name to get around them, but somehow it seems like that'd be illegal on his part and would still have to put out the albums as Prince instead of Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

David johannsen made those albums as Buster Poindexter. And don't you think if it was illegal he wouldn't have done it? | |

Well, I know, I'm just wondering HOW. It seems like it wouldn't work somehow and he'd still owe WB X number of "Prince" albums Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together | |

if his contract didnt say that .. then not illegal .. he could use any name he wished... WB would have had to put that in the contract and im sure during the signing .. no one thought he would make a move like that.. | |

Sharon Nelson - P's half/step/soul sister - told me personally that the name change was done specifically to get out of the WB contract. | |

"Prince", at the time, had changed his legal name to "". And finally, "Prince" eventually fulfilled his contract with WB. What could they say? | |
