YOU LOVE ME!!!

on what grounds would they sue him for? you cannot sue someone for covering a live songs.

here is something to think about. What if Radiohead was the one who put Prince's performance of Creep up and Prince did not want his performance up.
Who would have more say in the matter?

i hope that does not happen by the way, would make Prince look real bad.

But if you're going to defend Prince, I must demand you take your break NOW!

Obsidian said:

:confused:

what are you going on about? where have they claimed this?


my lord, this forum sometimes.... :turd:

sosgemini said:

What I got from that article was that he just laughed it off and that was that, not that he was pissed or was accusing Prince of laying claim to anything.

I dunno what's funnier, Prince's lame-o behaviour at times or the people on here defending him on every little stupid move he makes.

Savage said:

Its funny cause its out there - people just have to know where to look!

2020 said:

there's a LOT out there still. the games of cat & mouse between prince and his purple underground are alive and well.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Earth to you.... where did I say it is his song?
He does own rights to his performance of that song.

you can pull your finger out of my arse anytime now

however i hope he doesn't think twice about doing more covers..i like the covers!

pro said:

This surpasses your web sheriff poster

Anxiety said:

Alltough i don't really like Radioheads music, i must admit their loose, relaxed approach towards the 'distribution of their music' appeals much more to me then the stalled, rigid, overserious path Prince is following.

KidaDynamite said:

Well, then you're both off your rockers.

pplrain said:

Is that really the bottom line? I don't think so.

You don't aim very highly, but maybe that's because you're on your knees kissing Prince's arse.

"Lawd?" Please.

Riverpoet31 said:

i like how it seems that radiohead's whole purpose in making music has to do with their wanting people to hear it. i think that's a fresh, innovative approach.

pplrain said:

I know this it isn't popular to say this... but legally Prince is in the right in this istuation.. even if he doesn't own the copyright to the song... he 'authored' this rendition and was the performer. He does not own the copyright of the song.. but he does own authorship of performance itself.

I know my terminology is a little off... but this is a law I've had to deal with as it relates to copyrighted works of art and fair usage in s gaming community and dealing with Marvel Comics. On my website we used to have renditions of copyrighted Marvel characters (Spiderman, Hulk, etc) created by my site's artist. Marvel maintained their copyrights which they could have exercised at any time and forced us to remove the copyrighted content..... but as the creators of the artistic content..i.e. it's authors... we maintained the right of distribution and how the work could be used up to the point of not claiming copyright.. Marvel could have told us to cease and desist if they choose at any time(which they did to another site in the community).. but in no way could they take control of the material we created and dictated how it could be used. We were the authors and we owned 'rights of authorship' to the work of art..even if we didn't own 'copyrights' to the subject matter.

This same rule applies to video, audio and any other artistic medium.

Radio head owns the song and could prevent distribution if they want (depending on other factors though).. but they cannot take control of the performance itself because Prince maintains the right to distribute any rendition of his creative work..even if he does not own the copyrights to the subject. Those who video taped the performance are at the bottom of the totem poll While they can be made to not distribute publicly the material as it could violate both Radiohead's copyright.. and Prince's creators right to the performance... they do own any distribution rights which does not conflict with the formerly mentioned.

Anxiety said:

For a moderator, you sure don't trouble yourself with much class either. But that seems to be the norm around here.

I hope this goes further than a lot of the zealots here would like it to. Billboard, bloggers & other media outlets covering it bring attention to the fact that Prince is an increasingly irrelevant midget tool with a Napoleon complex.

Maybe if it continues to blow up, we'll get another song on the level of P-Funk released as his "answer."

BigDaddyHQ said:

so...could marvel post your art on their official sites without your permission, or would you have the ability to make them take it down?

could radiohead post a clip of prince performing "creep" on their official site without complying to a cease and desist from prince's people?

Anxiety said:

Oh you mean like not bitching about being a "slave," claiming you want to "free the music" & put it directly in the hands of the fans & then releasing shitty record after shitty record while you spend more time attacking fans than appeasing them? If only Prince would consider that business model.

pplrain said:

He'll do that as soon as you detach your lips from Prince's "arse."
