Yeah Gonzalo, I see what you meant about the cartoon. It's easy, on message boards, to get misunderstood because no one really knows anyone on a personal level. But when you use the word "negroid"...it's easy to focus on that and make judgments.

As far as others claiming that Prince is quote "a black man", that's just as racist IMHO. It's like they're saying no other race is important enough, so let's forget them. A Half-truth is more dangerous than falsehood.

If Prince really had a black Mom and Dad, I'd have no qualms with them saying that with pride. I've NEVER judged anyone based on skin tone...just their actions.

What does that have to do with the Youtube lawsuit?

WTF are you babbling about now. Squirrelgrease is stating you are a lawyer not me.

babynoz said:

Nothing, the man felt like people took his 1st post the wrong way and wanted to clarify he wasn't a racist. Understandable really, I wouldn't want people thinking I was either.

Funny how you talk about WB when it involves UNIVERSAL.

What's that called... ah yes, desperately lying to avoid admitting your precious hero is doing this.

Astasheiks said:

First, Trem is a guy. Second, English is not his first language so he misunderstood what Squirrel was saying.

And I can guarantee he was not "hot" about this. Laughing at the wannabe lawyers on this site is a sport for both of us.

^ What?

Lord have mercy, is that asthaseiks, the Iran conspiracy theorist, laughing at me?

Look here asty (and vendetta), I did understand what Squirrelgrease was saying. I was just saying that, altho' I may be a lawyer, somebody else, like Laura, doesn't have to be, to be able discuss this issue. So sounds like you didn't understand my reply.

Oh yeah and my name may end with an A asty, but I AM male. Too bad.

What does this case has to do with COVERING his stuff?

Tremolina said:

My bad, Mr. Tremolina.

Tremolina said:

Because "They" muted my Stuff/Covers too!

that cartoon is fucking racist Prince is not that skin color, his lower lip is much thinner, his nose is not so negroid. Also Prince has a beautiful profile (look at the cover of The Hits/The B Sides 3-cd set) he has a good chin, that cartoon needs a chin implant. That cartoon looks like a 100% black dude not a multiracial man like Prince, i think they matched Michael Jackson's 1982 skin color.

There are no two sides to this story. This case is simply the epithomy of all what's wrong with the music industry's internet battles. The woman didn't do anyhting wrong, but Universal/Prince were arrogant power monging dicks for pulling it and threatening her with legal action. They started that shit, without even blinking. That just the way it is, whether you like it or not, so it is GOOD that they got sued over it. It's time to stop the internet censuring and bullying from multinational corporations and multi millionaire individuals like Universal and Prince. They police the internet, but they are not the police and do that shit regardless of the intent behind a video, the amount of material used, the quality etc. As soon as there is just ONE NOTE played, they come and get your ass. Courts putting a limit on that is simply GOOD NEWS.
