And yes, he could make quite a considerable sum from selling this type of thing. In fact he could probably make more from dvd releases than stright forward audio.

But as per....what the fuck do I know?

Agree. DVDs are a lot harder to download. And every fan would buy it (not to mention people who would love a DVD with some hits).

Well, dvd's are no harder to download than audio, they just take longer and use up more disk space.

No, he won't. And nothing about that show has displayed any sort of inkling he would.

The footage shown during the inteview made me think about the question. At some point, you would think Prince would put a DVD out. And the fact that he's shown live footage on two different progams gives me some hope. Not holding my breath though!

Just breathing...breathing. I would buy whatever he put out on DVD. But perhaps he's not hungry or broke enough yet.

- yeah, that´s what I meant. I also find it harder to find the DVDs than CDs. And some of the DVDs I downloaded (with the VOB files) didnt play on my DVD player too :/

We won't see that stuff till after he dies. I think he wants it that way. U think 2pac had a ton of releases after his death...

Oh please! Don't you believe that. I keep telling y'all the moment Prince's heart stops beating, that vault he keeps all his stuff in, is going to go BOOM as he gives one final salute to his fans...

That would be incredibly bad ass. I wouldn't like it but, as an expression of sheer definance of doing anything that the public wanted of him, I would be like damn.. what an effin bad ass last statement... Un enfant terrible's last act.

Some do yes, some just don't know what is out there, which is fine, we were in the same boat once, I know I was.

There are others though who think that the bootleg route is evil blah blah, they are the ones that would rather start a thread every few months "asking" Prince to release a dvd which has been all but technically raped of all goodness.

Oh well, back to me boots.

Yeah and I'm on that boat, I don't download on the net, don't know where to search, don't have any downloading programm on my comp, I want the real thing, official, so he should be happy to get the money from what he does...

He says artists make no money today..

But he doesn't release concerts on DVD, he doesn't release his albums in stores... how can you make money if we have nothing to buy...

Prince, baby, do that first, get your check, and thank us by giving us more, it's a give/give thing.. you give, we buy, we buy, you give.. it's called recognition from us for your talent, and recognition from you for us being faithful. Simple. It's all Love baby.

What stops you from finding out how to do this stuff? You aren't stupid. You can post on a forum. If you can post on a forum (and, incidentally, chew gum or wipe your own ass or tie your own shoes), you can download things - even the correct things.

Here's a tip: Start at google. Enter in what you want to know. And broaden your horizons.

It would be interesting to know what his wishes are regarding the vault stuff. He's JW, so believes that after judgement day he's going to be resurrected to eternal life in paradise on earth. Will he have the vault under lock and key until that day? Will he let someone else have control of it? Or will it all go up in smoke?

What keeps me from finding it myself? Well, first I can only download at work, so I don't want to loose my time on downloading something that at the end has no sound, or looks like shit with shaking images, or brings viruses into my office's computer.

Second, things were easy back in the days when there was only 1 downloading programm.. now there are many I just don't know which one to use, megaupload? Torrent? personnal websites, unknown links... being a beginner in all that, I just don't know where to throw myself.

Third. Yeah I do prefer to get official stuff, cause even if I'm pissed that he doesn't release his own stuff, I still think he should get the money for what he did release. You can count that as a concious effort of being nice if you want, or stupidity, I let you decide.

Dude, people are downloading Blu-rays. It ain't hard.

There was NEVER such a time.

ow there are many I just don't know which one to use, megaupload? Torrent? personnal websites, unknown links... being a beginner in all that, I just don't know where to throw myself.

And you'll continue being a beginner until you get some experience.

Is anyone prohibiting you from paying for official releases? This has got NOTHING to do with it. If he doesn't release it, he ain't losing money.
