[Edited 5/16/08 3:06am]  PEACE.....It does not mean 2 be in a place where there is no noise,trouble,or hardwork.It means 2 be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart !  | |

the first time saw an easier form of the is on the 1999 record ... in the "P" r both symbols for male and female and in the first 9 they melt together ... well, of course it was not his complete idea ... but like the | |

That's crazy...You can't steal something GOD inspires you 2 have.
What about all of the people that have duplicate names? Did the last John steal from the first John? Or did the last Suzie Q take from the first Suzie Q?  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

No, he didn't. If there was any "stealing" going on, it was by Pickett | |

No, he didn't. If there was any "stealing" going on, it was by Pickett Dude. You HONESTLY think that NO ONE had combined the male and female symbols before Prince? you have GOT to be kidding. http://www.facebook.com/p...111?ref=ts

Click Pickett v Prince 
[Edited 5/16/08 2:58am] Ummmm...did you actually read that? It says Pickett didn't have a legal leg to stand on. I don't know how you get that Prince stole the symbol from what you linked.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

That doesn't mean he invented it. Never said he invented it. But by putting in a third non related icon into the symbol, he made it copyrightable. It is unique to Prince. That's the way it works with all logo's/logotype's etc.  "My God it's full of Stars"

oh for goodness sake!!!!
Prince didnt steal the symbol, the symbol is his (or least he owns its) creation. The aformentioned male female symbols had previously been melded together and prince used this idea on 1999 cover and had a necklace made like that in the early 90s however the new npg symbol evolved to include the shape of the horns so became a mix of female/male into drum, guitar, horn. If you read the whole thing Pickett made a guitar in the likeness of the already widely used Prince symbol and showed it to prince. Exactly how and wear or indeed why is not disclosed. Prince then later had a guitar made for him similar to Pickets in that it was in the shape of his already owned symbol. You cant make a gucci symbol earing and then sue gucci for making one like it. They already own the symbol. I can only assume Pickett made the guitar to perhaps sell to prince but maybe prince had a preferred guitar maker and thought hey fab idea why didnt i think of that!! Pickett then got the arse and sued prince for copyright infringement which didnt exist. So no Prince didnt steal the symbol he merely made a randomly used and often different symbol about sexuality a 'thing' to be worn and live by as a name by changing it to represent his music and himself. Anyone else could have done it but they didnt! so Prince owns it. Its his. By the way thread name very misleading with regard to actual content of link. walk with crooked shoes www.myspace/syblepurplelishous | |

If you ever wondered why Prince (and other artists) refuses unsolicited musical works, poetry or sketches (of musical instruments or whatever), now you know. It just opens up a big can of worms.
