Prince & Plagiarism

He's obviously talented and gifted. But the question is has he and does he plagiarize the musical ideas of those who've worked with him?

Plagiarize: to take the thoughts, writings, inventions ,ideas, etc. of another and use as one's own

Now this topic ought to generate some controversy and heated debate.

NO! Not in my opinion. But, the only ones who really know are those who have worked with him. I think he has given them much more than he has ever taken.

Yup, plenty, but any art form is essentially based on plagiarism. To quote Oscar Wilde: "Talent borrows, genius steals".
