I just got another damn fake unreleased P song.

Ok, let's ignore the ethical issue of "getting" the song. But WHY would someone go to the trouble of writing a song, recording the song, and then put it online as Prince - with NO kind of credit to yourself?

I mean - at least, half way thru the song, I woulda said "THIS AINT PRINCE, IT'S BUBBA HONEY LOVE" or whatever so if the listener LIKED the song, despite it being a fake... the person could come find more music by you.

But no - these morons are just making fakes, OBVIOUS fakes, embarrassing fakes, with no way of at least getting credit.

Maroons.

Maybe folks just make them as a homage, and then they are passed off as Prince tracks by someone wanting to make a fast buck?

fakers!

But there ain't no fast buck on Kazaa - that's why it pisses most musicians off. So - it's just - uhh, to show it to your friends and laugh?

Idjits.

Hey now - fakers aren't that bad. That OH SHEILA song really rocks.

Possibly, the person who put it up for download THOUGHT it was Prince, just as people seem to think "Stuck in the Middle With You" is a Bob Dylan song. There are so many mislabled files it's ridiculous. People are just stupid sometimes.
