I agree as long as we are talking about unreleased tracks. Because I think that is a violation of copyright issues.
However when it comes to performances it must be seen a little different, because I think that he is not harmed in any way since he has no intention to release them officially and getting paid for them...

I would be very easy for him to follow the example of many others (Pearl Jam, Phish, etc.) who sell the soundboard recordings of their concerts via the www.

This is old BS. But let me just participate in these discussions one more time and say that bootlegs are not illegal everywhere. So there.

let me start by saying that i have purchased every official release he's ever released. even bought some for some friends at that...

BUT... if it wasnt for my bootleg collection i would have stopped buying prince's music years ago.

if i had never heard "extralovable" or the version of "old friends for sale" on the charade boot ( instead of that horrible orchestrated shit on the vault ) or "in all my dreams" i would've had no interest in continuing to support his official wack-ass releases.

if it ain't right fuck it. that's just being real about it. .

yes boots infringe on his rights, but boots are only traded between fans who have poured money into all his official projects.

+ alot of hiz live stuff iz done different, and better than the studio stuff (not better N quality) but more dynamic. + I like how he getz the famz Nvolved. F it wazn't 4 the bootz we would hardly ever hear N E thing live.

Az U know he iz alwayz recording something N never releasing it.
F we az a People R not.......
Then we az a people should B.....

When Oprah asked Prince what he wanted people to know about him, his answer was "the Music". Well, we're "knowing" it.

I don't believe buying boots actually constitutes stealing from him since he never officially released these recordings anyway. Even if the bootlegs didn't exist he still wouldn't be making money off of them because they'd be sitting in his vault collecting dust.


Great and valid point. Do we wait for his death for someone to release them or what?

No what sucks is Crystal ball. If Prince won't put out his best unreleased shit, someone has to.


Another good point. Some of the things on Crystal Ball were already on other releases.."How You Wanna be Done", "Dark", "Loose" and "P. Control". For me, Crystal Ball was STILL good, though, because of the other gems I hadn't heard.

Isn't Prince or someone who works at PP responible for the boots in the first place,esp.studio outtakes & tour rehearsals-I thought we just discussed that?

Why not? I think if someone wants to hear Prince's music so bad, that they spend the money for over priced CDs and take the time to search and download unreleased music, they are more of a fan then people who just stick to the official stuff.

I said where am I SUPPOSED TO GET LOVESEXY LIVE?
And you still didn't confront the issue about Prince or someone at PP having something to do with the boots being available in the first place,how can demos/outtakes be available for sale if "someone" in the studio with an original copy didn't let it get out...

What a strange thing to do. I think the best thing to do is to ignore you, since you don`t mean what you are saying anyway.



you obviously have many illegal recordings... and therefore can't be trusted
