I'm no high flying hollywood type lawyer but the way I see it, LPP is not using images of P, it is a character based on Prince.

prince is such an asshole.

what the hell harm is it doing?

as if i wont buy his new album because i spent money on a LPP calendar?

maybe P should actually look to LPP and Troy to see what GOOD MERCH looks like.

He has NO CLUE how to 'preserve his legacy' as everyone calls it. No clue how fans relate to artists in the new age. Just go back to reading your bible, Prince.

In the meantime, Im in the middle of selling all my Prince stuff on Ebay.

I think Im done.

He isnt interesting anymore. He isnt a trend setter anymore. He isnt innovative anymore. Just a vegas schmaltz bible thumper.

No clue why Im reacting so hard to this particular thing.. but I am..and I think its my last straw as a former Prince fanatic.

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Well thats me gone. I really cant stand Prince now. I used to love this guy so so much, and its taken me a long time to realise that, well, i just dont listen to him much now. I find myself skipping him when he comes on my ipod, and up till about 2 years ago it was ONLY him that was on it! Its things like this, not just the degeneration of his musical output, but his apparent hatred of his fans, his insane youtube policy, and just general shittiness that have made me decide, Nah, he's not worth it anymore. Theres more music out there now that i enjoy far more than anything Prince has to offer now. There's going to be no amazing new album released, no "sign o the times" or "lovesexy"again. Ive just realised,for about the last 10 years, ive been going more and more off him. And now, i think ive had enough. I didnt post on this site much, i enjoyed reading other people's opinions more than posting my own, so youve probably figured i aint posting again! Thanks for 1978-1995 Prince. Bollocks to the rest of it!!

i can relate to what you said, i would be very surprised if he came with a new album that blew me away.

^^ I agree with DopeDog, especially on the last sentence!!

and, I am not surprised, Prince really is an asshole.

My respect for him is as low as 0%.

I wonder why the hell he is fighting his own fanbase that very silly way.

Yet once again.

I thought it was a bit of a laugh and didn't realise anything was being sold til I saw the calendar and t-shirts.

It's obvious though, if you're gonna tickle image rights and dance on the copyright fringe, especially pissy Ps part of it, you've got to expect you might just be getting a letter. Could it be described as P Merchandise, maybe?

It's petty, as I doubt Troy was buying up real estate on the sales money but that's not the point.

He can obviously be an asshole and regularly is. Boggles the mind at the best of times. He's always been a bit of a twat, used to be a really funky one so I'd forgive him, sort of. I couldn't give a shit about a new album cos I doubt there'll be much 'new' about it. I'll check it out but I doubt I'll buy it. Go on P, surprise us all... tumbleweed

I started getting the arse with him years ago, he's a twat. Pissing about with the black album, cancelling SOTT in the UK, cancellations, let downs, fuckabouts. He's been doing it for years. I said bollocks somewhere around '90. Where are we, cusp of '13?

Why can I hear Floyd singing "Time to go" from The Wall?

Prince won't even allow all the work that he did to even be online or anywhere else so it doesn't surprise me that he went after Troy. What does bother me is that he keeps going after his fans-again I say Michael never sued a fan! For the last five years or so I have grown less and less interested in Prince and that makes me sad. He will always be my fav artist, but he must be really unhappy or just a terrible person to keep suing the people who bought his shit from the jump-very sad.

Did anybody here really not EXPECT Prince to react this way? I don't have any interest in whatever Le Petit Prince was, but look at it this way....If some woman was dying of cancer, and decided to sell something with Prince on it, he'd probably sue her too. Would that be nice? Of course not. But that's Prince.

A lot of people put shit-loads of time, work and effort into a lot of things P. Not always for the money either. Plenty of it's nothing to do with money, far from it. He'd shit on them from a great height too if only he knew where to find em.

He jumps all over bootleggers then condones it when it suits him and he finds it funny. He loves stirring the pot as it keeps everyone wondering, it's great marketing, sometimes. Out - takes and maybes, the 'buy a ticket, he might turn up' shit. I could go on forever but I can't be arsed.

Imagine every Orger could cash in all things purple, there'd be a few quid in the pot wouldn't there. If no-one had paid any money he wouldn't have what he has, or be where he is, to do what he does. In a weird way, we've all paid for the lawyers too.

It's not about being mean, it's nothing personal just buisness, We the orgers have a personal even emotional bond to troy's stuff, so we would feel the pain of him doing this, but I'm sure Troy is not the only one banking on Prince image, and making thousands even millions. Not picking up for Prince, but if he allows this all the time, he might just go bankrupt....Allot of people who he trusted let him down buisness wise, he now TRUST NO ONE!. don't take it personal...it's just good buisness.

Prince fans have stuck with him through all his changes n bullshit cuz were loyal fans and the guy was talented and one of the best artist to ever live, but how long will he continue to shit on his fans, give us cheap ass album covers and make us stomach shelby's irritating ass? Yes Troy was using Princes likeness, but the guy is obviously a fan and went through a lot to make that doll just cuz he likes Prince and Prince threatens to sue the guy-if that's not an asshole I don't know what is.

lol Shit, I didn't.

He was a bit brazen though, Ads on the Org and all. I never realised he was flogging stuff and it'd be naive to think he wouldn't get a tap.

I told Troy not long ago that eye hope the Prince Police don't come after him. I feel bad 4 him. But him being a fan of Prince it had 2 cross his mind.I expected it to happen. I'm glad i just got my calendar the other day.

I have to stand by Prince's decision. It is his likeness & right to control anything that profits off of his likeness. eye know this will bring the already Prince haters a reason to hate on him again. I wish that all of U haters will just close ur accounts & go away for good... Maybe this will do it

eye hate U

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince
