Eye have to agree with U! Even though Eye'm not participating in this "save Serpan" crap. It just needs to STOP! Prince has finally created a site 4 fans to have fun & participate in. Then here they go again! They can't wait to find something to crucify Prince & tear him apart about. EYE'M SICK OF IT!
Serpan CROSSED THE LINE! Was scolded about it & told it won't be tolerated anymore.This is Prince image & legacy, that he owns and built for almost 40 years! Obey his wishes & MOVE ON! Before Prince shuts 3EG down. We already have Dr fnb that Prince hand picked. Embrace him! Stop being so ungrateful! Serpan is not or will ever be Prince's publicty agent. Dr Fnb is the man Prince picked 4 his die hards. GET OVER IT!
Also Eye don't care if Eye'm torn to shreds here. Eye already have everything Eye want in my life, Eye don't need any of your acceptance. Eye sleep well at night.. | |

The Prince vs. his fans saga continues. This has been going on since 1997. I think he might actually be retarded. No joke. | |

Really.. Prince has no legal ground to really stand on which is why they went the bullying role. Serpans twitter is only repurposing content which was already created. its the quid pro quo if twitter. They can't dictate the terms and conditions of that. I've never been really disgusted by any conversations before yet that exchange showed just how young and stupid his team is.. As far as the synmbol , i would have claimed fair use under parody as that is exactly what they've become; a parody of their old selves.. I would force them to litigate..I'm sure a good law firm would take the case pro bono as it would create case law once and for all on the subject.

Sure. One could do that. One could also force their parents to go through the actual legal eviction process when they are asked to move out. | |

True. * I guess I have focussed on the first bolded part of your response and you have focussed on the majority part of your response afterwards. I am advocating for a professional - top tier - support service for an artist of Prince's stature, for his benefit, and you would appear to be effectively saying, "Guys, just get out of the way; this is leading nowhere pleasant for you." From the perspective of realism, I think you are right. From the perspective of idealism, I think the approach of a professional team offers a better solution for all parties. It's just good business practice. * As one party has already effectively stated above, the cultural transmission of values within an organisational entity comes from the top which, in this case, means Prince. Like many of us, I would prefer Prince to act like the world-class artist that he can be, and with values that I can respect, as I think he has the potential to be that person (as clearly evidenced by his own spiritual journey). I recognise that in the complex world of legal issues and celebrity, a co-ordinated PR and communication efforts professionally delivered accurately and sensitively in an antagonistic and hostile marketplace has the potential to create a world of difference in terms of customer service and experience, leading to brand loyalty at scale i.e. not just Kcool, and his enthusiastic masterpiece/oral skills, bless him. * Ironically, I think it is safe to conclude that Prince wants the brand loyalty at scale, but does not recognise that, in order to achieve this, his operations need to provide the level of "customer relationship management" to merit that power e.g. Apple enjoys the benefit of brand loyalty at scale; the ethos of their customer service management is quite different to Prince's, however. Unfortunately, what Prince's operations have provided (at the worst of times) seems to trigger fractured, almost schizotypal, responses (even when a relatively minor infringement occurs). It is apparent to me, therefore, that there is a potentially greater requirement for a professional team to be working alongside Prince, not least of all for his own safety. He is a celebrity afterall, and unlike Apple's products, Prince has fans of all "make ups", psychologically speaking. * A timely response from a professional team could read along the lines, "Dear All, As some of you may be aware, Prince is attempting to create a fan experience with the use of the Livestream service, which he is excited to share with you. Alongside using other social media outlets, we are hoping to create a sense of fun and reward for those of you wish to follow Prince's artistic journey this year. We are aware that a member of the fan community was recently approached for potentially inappropriate copyright use. Unfortunately, the manner in which this message was delivered was informal and we would like to apologise for any negative effects of this method of communication. Clearly, the issue of ownership is an important one to Prince, as he has consistently fought for his artistic rights. Please do bear with us, as we try to foster a rewarding experience for fans, whilst also ensuring that Prince's copyright remains protected. We would like to hear your views, so please do send us your opinions at info@3rdeyegirl.com." * Alongside the above e-mail, Prince's PR team could also send Serpan an email (one by one, every day, over a 9-day period) containing the musical files to Roadhouse Garden; an exclusive 9-song album of unreleased outtakes from 1984 that Prince was working on at the time, but subsequently moved onto other pursuits. A simple message to Serpan suggesting that he can share this 9-song album of unreleased outtakes amongst the fan community and announce it via his Twitter account would be more than welcome and create a significant positive out of an unfortunate negative. It would almost definitely breed brand loyalty, which would ultimately result in greater co-operation and respect from his fan community, not to mention sales revenues when Prince decides to release the 16-track fully fledged Roadhouse Garden album later in the year, alongside a bonus disc of outtakes from the Purple Rain era. * Instead, however, we have the following dialogue (edited): * SERPAN99: So...now that I removed the symbol image 4 u, r u going after the thousands of other Prince fans who r using it as well? And have people remove symbol tattoos? 3RDEYEGIRL: we love serpan...want him 2 stay and vibe with us 3RDEYEGIRL: nope...just u serpan ... 3RDEYEGIRL: bye, everybody * Is it any wonder that the response from the Prince fan community towards Prince as a result of this representative's tone, manner and approach has been an almost unanimous: WTF?! * And, if that was in fact Prince (rather than his representative), then I would suggest freeing the entire Roadhouse Garden set of outtakes with artwork, as soon as that possible idea becomes irrefutable fact. * I could be wrong, but I just don't think JUGHEAD RELOADED will cut it at this stage in the PR game. .

Lets get this straight, once the information is tweeted, anyone can repurpose...He has no legal right too the tweet (prince that is). All Serp did was what the Drudge Report and Huffington Post do daily, repurpose and aggragate. [Edited 7/28/13 8:27am] | |

Much respect to Serpan99. The time and energy he takes to post information about P's concerts, media apperances and photos was done out of love. Your passion for Prince's music is evident in your tweets and you always reported about Prince news with respect. I had a feeling this livestream would have a short shelf life.
It seems Prince is thrilled with the livestream for its spontaneity and from his perspective, now that its activity can be tracked easily, he may just pull the plug altogether. The same behavior Prince exhibited towards Serpan 99, he has probably shown to record company execs, former musical associates, critics, you name them. I just wish he would put the same vigor behind shutting down Twitter parody accounts or those Toure-led panel discussions about Prince as he does Serp. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

But like i was saying...you wanna go through some long drawn out legal process over some bullshit tweets. Obviously prince cant keep serpan from tweeting...durr du durr...he can stop giving him stuff to tweet about him though. Nothing is keeping serpan from tweeting anything other than his own fingers and a request from prince. I understand that. Im sure prince understands it as well. The whole exchange involved the word "request". Our problem is if serpan doesnt stop, prince will stop with the live streams. Id rather a livestream over serpan tweeing abouth nothing cuz the livestreams will stop if he keeps tweeting about it. Is that tacky of prince...it sure is. But its a sellers market here...aint it. I want what prince is selling more than what serpan is tweetng | |

There is no long drawn out legal process to go through..Case has no merit.. You cant copyright facts. Prince is not a court or judge; he cant deem whats copyrghtable at his own pleasure. Tweets are a recitation of facts which is not protectable under copyright laws. Fuck Prince , let him stop the livestreams, he doesn't get to create the terms of service for technology in which he has no ownership | |

I think its unfortunate that 3EG felt the need to be that bitchy to Serpan. But they made it VERY clear in that interaction that their issue was with Serpan and Serpan alone.. I feel bad for Serpan but get 3EG point.
3EG must have thought Serpan had got too big and the traffic that Serp bought to his site was traffic/revenue that 3EG would rather have. IMHO I think that 3EG believed Serpan had the potential to make $$ out of P, and we know how much P values $$. Serpan got off very lightly.
if and when EyeJesters following gets so big that the 3EG camp see him as a threat to P's revenue I dont doubt that he would be treated in the same way Serpan was.

Why do these folks keep needing Prince to be who he has shown he is not? People have been whining that Prince is an asshole for decades. It got worse with the internet because it brings the illusion of intimacy. We don't know Prince. Prince doesn't want us to really know him. Just though the music. Isn't that enough?
Prince is an artist. That is all. He is not your friend or neighbor or guru. His decisions are his to make. If you can't stand his decisions or the personality you know as Prince just move the hell on.
It is just absurd to engage Prince as it would be any other icon. They are not your friends!!!
It is very interesting all the personal insults being hurled in his direction by so-called fans. Acting all butt hurt like serpent was murdered or something. You guys are a sick bunch. I love Prince as an artist and wish the best for him but that is it. I don't feel any need to be wrapped up in outrage because he is isn't the person I want him to be. | |
