lol

id love to say-oh dear-how sad and all that-but it does stink like dog pee-just like alot of his business and marketing practices over the last few years..

so-its karma. Man if i had the dosh-id sue him for not touring often enough

annoyingly-i still and have always liked the music. THAT never lets him down-but man as a business man-he's a bit shady. Wonder what Jehovas take on being so shady is.....

7/7/7... I think Prince will win that spin.

I wonder if anyone will sue over Lotusflower.com? That was a classic bait and switch scam.

That could be another thread on another topic another time.

Common ppl!
It's not that bad. He is bigger then in a long time. Of course money hungry company's gonna sue him! MJ is dead.. Sorry if I'm dissin any MJ fans, but this is how it is when you are rich and famous..

I can make another comparison, Apple.. The bigger they get, the more company's sue. That's how business is done, it seems.. Sux if you ask me, I run a business, and I will promise this, I will never try and "make it big".. Just survive and have a good time doin what I do..

At the end of the day this all his team, Prince doesnt do "business" he never has, he doesnt know how to do it, lets remember that, HE didnt get himself out of the WB deal a LAWYER did, had he not given back 75% of the contract he signed back in 1992 his face would still have SLAVE written on it. So this lawsuit goes to his lawyers and they decide whether to fight, or settle, then they take it to his accountants and they do the check writing. I know people think that Prince handles his money, but im guessing Prince hasnt touched any form of currency or had to do that himself since the first few albums.

Its like when they sued Dave Matthews because his tour bus dumped shit on the road, do you honestly think Dave was in court talking about "shit", dude is too busy for that nonsense and so is Prince.

Excellent work with the tie-in between Prince's business practices and Dave Matthews dumping human excrement on the land.

squirrelgrease said:

Its the same thing, when someone of that stature is sued, unless its a criminal act of some sort, you will not see them in court and many times they dont even know of the cases. The Dave Matthews business was "business" because they sued the bus company and his "tour", so its all related in the end.

NuPwrSoul said:

No shit.



That's looking bad for him, again.

NuPwrSoul said:

Straight on.

I don't think Prince would agree with you on that.

I like angry Prince music!

TheScouser said:

I know right!

Watch the Kevin Smith interview sometime relating his Prince "Experience" and this will all make sense.

Get over it, and live your own life, people.

The boy marches to a different drummer up in the brain. HE AIN"T LIKE YOU'S OR THEM'S.

^Different drummer or not Old man cant march against broken contracts.

Yaw Crazy!!

conciousone said:

Yeah, because the drama king better known as Kevin Smith is a source of pure fact.

At the end of the day, we don't have the contract nor were we part of the talks, so we don't know what went on with this deal. I asked if anyone had facts, yet all we have is more speculation coupled with the requisite Prince bashing. More times than not, this place is such a joke.

bellanoche said:

I dont think there's much more info right now, other than that a judge let the fraud accusations proceed. Prince isn't saying anything, Universal denies.

2 sides to every story....
let it play out.

U think so? Tides turned? He's really been taught a lesson huh?
Too funny. Hes got reasons why HE sues. The music is HIS babies. HE controls it. Dont some of u ppl realize that? Lettigo. Just take what he gives you and stop thinking of sneaky ways to get more. TIT 4 TAT wont work. Hes not stupid. He probobly knows whats going down. Flattering actually. Some of u guys are too funny... and U love the crap out of him. I hope he realizes THIS as well.
But control him? Never happen. U cant control ANYONE purple ppl. Go with the flow. U can only change yourself.

grandebelle said:

Interesting because it really looks like the one trying to control everything and everybody is prince. You know, once he releases his "babies" he loses control. he can't stop the copying. You may not like it but thats a fact of life. Sueing fans wont solve any of that, it will only make matters worse. telling people to abide the law, but not do it yourself isnt really helpful either. So maybe Prince should go with the flow and letitgo?

PRINCE IS A BULLY!THANK GOD PEOPLE r STANDING UP 2 Him!

Prince's lawyers just need to get in touch with all the Prince website owners and get backups of their forums from around that time. Plenty of promotion going on there. Oh... but wait... he already alienated all those people. Never mind.

money is the answer to everything, it can even give you a clear conscience

Tremolina said:

I'm not talking about copying his released "babies". I'm talking about the unreleased stuff like the afterparties and private jams and studio gigs etc. I can understand ppl loving this "unauthorized" stuff. Its awesome. Sometimes betta than his releases...but its NOT AUTHORIZED to record it, and worse...SELL IT. I own some of this stuff. I bought it b4 I knew Princes stance on this. I treasure it all too. Its awesome, but I would NEVER sell it or even give it away. Its MINE. AND I wont buy any more, as tempting as it is. Its wrong. Stealing...to be blunt. It IS HIS to control. And how has HE broken the law in the realm of stealing (which is a felony u know)?

grandebelle said:

While I respect the spirit of your decision, it strikes me as a bit disingenuous on two counts: 1. I find it hard to believe that you had no idea that buying unauthorized recordings of Prince's performances was wrong until you learned of his stance; and 2. If you were truly being principled about your stance you would DESTROY all copies of unauthorized recordings, the mere possession of which IS considered a violation of copyright law.
