sometimes I get a bit paranoid, do you feel the same about this "Big brother is watching us Prince fans" phenomenon...?

Who exactly is this Web Sheriff, from where is he working, what does he looks like....

I guess this person is very busy, looking at YouTube, and here on the org.... trying to put censorship on the internet?

Shame on him whoever he is...?!

Is the web sheriff just = Universal Music Group?

Please take this thread a bit serious:

no misleading pics or stories, I wanna know "the TRUTH", about this guy..

I wonder Mr.P pays him?!!?

Hmmmm All that money going to waste, when instead it could go into a site that has a whole price vid world, which would save us from going to Youtube.....

Do I dare clicking on that link?

Is he getting my IP address then....?

As far as I know Prince worked only briefly with the sheriff during the whole PFU debacle.

^ but who is taking the videos down then on YouTube??

and who is watching here, besides the mods of course..?

Why don't people use Google anymore?

Web Sheriff is an internet policing company based in the United Kingdom. It acts against media copyright violation by websites, privacy violations, domain name squatting, and illegal websites by sending "take-down" notices.[1] [2] [3]

In the past, artists like Prince and record labels like Domino hired Web Sheriff's services in order to get their copyrighted content removed from websites.[4] [5] Web Sheriff also made a failed attempt to take down a torrent, tracking content copyrighted by The White Stripes, from The Pirate Bay.[6]

But I'm still not clicking on that link,

does this site answer who is taking the videos down on YouTube, these days...

youtube takes them down when copywrite holders like universal get in touch. they also have software and humans who's job is to look for violating media and remove it. they can search by artist name, song title, and they have software to detect video and audio

Yes it does if you're smart enough to understand it.

Copyright laws force whoever runs YT to take them down.
Not just Prince's videos...lots of other artists share the same sentiments with Prince...
and are tryin to get their videos removed or are tryin to work a deal with YT.

The administrators at YOUTUBE are the ones that take them down, if they violate
copyright laws, plus the poster gets thy're account suspended!

Maybe P has some free time on his hands after putting Bria's azz 2 sleep, girl her time to recaharge her batteries.

thedance said:

Are you for real? Dude, it's not THAT serious. Hell Prince doesn't even use Web Sheriff anymore. That part is over.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is paranoia at it's finest.

thedance said:

Not Web Sheriff. They never have.

Thanks for the replies, girls and boys

Yes I'm for real, asking this question, I have been thinking about this the past few years since 2007 or whenever the Web Sheriff issue came up,

if this is completely over then, Prince not using the Web Sheriff no more, then... fine,

imo., the Web Sheriff was a huge mistake in the first place

thedance said:

Yep
