Prince FB Fanpages Gone

So a couple very popular Prince pages on FB just dissapeared a couple days ago, those pages were the ones known for posting many unreleased tracks and old concert, and misc vids of Prince...

I think he really gets off on control, Cease & Desist Orders, & suing.

I think control & denying his small fanbase what it wants, is actually more psychologically satisfying than releasing the vault and seeing the reaction.

were you members of these groups?

Is it possible to make a group 'invisible' or block people?

Wasn't a group, it was a publick page that shared lots of unreleased tracks and concert vids, and music videos. Was up for a while, but suddenly gone.

Sadly, I think this is the most accurate appraisal of the situation that we'll get. neutral

I can't fault Prince too much on this. Bootlegging is supposed to happen on the downlow. Sites are supposed to get taken down occasionally, like a blind pig raided by the police! It's part of the excitement.

U most likely answered ur own question. Any entity publicly sharing stuff that isn't supposed to be public is bound to get shut down, whether it's Prince-related or not. Really, whomever creates the material (music, movies, poems, novels, whatever) ultimately should have the right to decide what to do with their work. If someone else shares your stuff when you didn't want it shared, you have every right to ask the people to stop sharing it.

open yo mind, the entire universe you'll find

lol lol lol We've gotten to know him so well. He loathes nothing more than giving us what we want. He could have long ago given us the keys to PrincEcstasy World but he'd rather toot out "Shut This Down," and giggle to himself while waiting for everyone to smell it.

And Prince's people had that taken down? That's the most believable thing ever.

Plenty of pages are still up and the good ones are closed.
