That's why so many artists offer different formats for their fans. It might cost more, but I think some people enjoy having liner notes and such for the future. I think to get rid of some kind of lossless format is not sensible. People always like to think everything from the past will be obsolete in the future, but I don't think that happen (i.e. vinyl). its funny that we come back around to the vinyl issue... i suggest this.. a new vinyl format that translates to digital output.... yeah. maybe or a disk the size of the laser disk from back in the day but with HD videos for the entire project

what difference is it to keep a digital master if the product is stolen into the hands of the public? the tour issue is a good idea, but why should anyone want to buy the milk if the cow is stamping on your head? cheers! s=v=n s+v~n(sq2) 7. Chances are slim, but if the product is genius and for use in this and that and the other by outside enterprises, Prince is the sole controller of it's use and sole recipient of it's proceeds minus publishing costs. That's what made what record companies did important. 50+ years from date of release, if U wanted that music to use for something else other than playing for personal use or a club or something, $ needs 2 be coughed up, placed in a napkin and given to said record company. So all the digital copies in the world could be everywhere, but agreements need to be made for it's use, other than private or semi-private. so, the cow could stomp on your head all U want it to, there's no milk in that utter, untill U make agreement with said cow. cheers!

Sell HQ / Lossless files at a decent prince.. on his web-site And also sell and or include.. cheap mp3 copys for thoese who dont care about quality we went down this path before... hq lossless files are called CDs. selling mp3s last just long enough for someone to buy the cd and rip it... then send it freely to someone else. i have become interested in the files becoming a video file with something extra or more like a computer program that runs on a player... sort of like a computer programming blue ray file. something that will shut itself off if you dont pay... what do you think? cheers! s=v=n s+v~n(sq2) 7. | |

7e7e7 said: how on god's green earth is a person supposed to make money giving away a cd that costs upwards of $300,000 to make plus duplication! i'm not sure how you arrived at such a figure. however, if most reports are to be believed, the mail on sunday paid prince one million for distribution rights to planet earth. using your math, that's a $700,000 profit. additionally, the belief that prince is "giving away" cds "free" with a ticket purchase is a half-truth. the cd wholesale price is built in to the ticket value. it's pure profit for prince; ticket broker and promoter can't touch it.

I got it! Prince should contact USA Today and The News and advertise a contest 4 Prince fans...
Prince fans have 2 sit outside on their doorsteps listening 2 Prince music 4 24 hours...and everyone that makes it gets a free cd. Ur only allowed 2 go 2 the bathroom 5 times...And Ur not allowed 2 sleep...And people have 2 bring U your food...and U can call a main number announcing Ur name an address as being in the contest...And Prince can send all of these people 2 come and make sure U did it. See there..I just don't run out of great ideas.'  "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |
