BE CAREFUL: THE ESTATE IS COMING AFTER PEOPLE Peace to all,
Just notice at another forum that I belong to that the Prince Estate seems to be aware of the leaks & are going after people. Just want everyone to be careful.

moderatorI noticed on YouTube some takedowns are now coming from something/someone called PRN Estate, in addition to NPG Music Publishing and Web Sheriff. Paisley Park is in your heart

I wouldnt be too worried...The Estate is going to exhaust their Funds trying to do this.....
As soon as they remove one video three more of the same pop up...
THey dont understand WHY Prince kept his stuff off You tube THEN and that now he wouldnt mind....
Good Luck to them...But if they think they can Hold Back the Purple Reign...they are mistaken...

What took them so long? It's not like this was a big secret  Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

Really an exercise in futility. These lawyers are clueless and behind the times. The internet is faster than any of the old law books they use. One site down=controversy=10 new sites pop up = losing battle. Law is only as good as it can be enforced....just sayin. | |

I think in this case, they're going after someone who has been actively promoting the sale of the EYE boot. But definitely good advice to be careful; I've been in groups that have got shut down in the past. | |

It's not surprising at all that they don't want bootlegs to be sold openly. And when it comes to YouTube-Videos: We all know that those who upload something like Prince's Superbowl-performance surely make some money, too. So it's understandable that they'll be deleting the "big things". We can only hope that they will make a difference between devoted fans who share some hard2get-stuff and those who want to make some money. NPG Radio:

Perhaps they should try organising or releasing something themselves. | |

The elite leaker [NFT] mentioned 2 people he was particularly pissed off at in one of the leaks meta data, and now those same two people were just contacted by a lawyer representing the Prince estate, so I'm gonna say it's pretty obvious that [NFT] is the snitch. [Edited 7/22/17 1:27am] | |

If his name starts with L and ends with E than about damn time  Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! |

They're not coming after people just downloading links from the interwebs, no one has to be careful. | |

The stuff I’ve seen removed from YouTube are cell phone videos from concerts. Not long videos either. And with YouTube when a video is removed you have no way of knowing what video it was, the only information you get is it was deleted and who requested it. Paisley Park is in your heart

They will not exhust their funds. I suspect contacting YouTube to take stuff down is not a million dollar cost. Prince used Web Sheriff for years Realize this is what UMG is suppose to be doing as the admin and the rumor is this one of the things they were not doing when they were the admin before. | |

The estate could do the same thing that Frank Zappa did with his 'Beat the boots' series. He took all the bootleggers material, then released it himself. Essentially bootlegging the bootleggers. Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam...

In reality, they'll never stop YouTube videos, and they'll never stop leaks coming out. Prince couldn't (or didn't care too much), and the estate will do no better. If any of them have ever been on this end of things, or are a fan in the way we're fans, they know what to find in the vault, what to digitize, clean up (keep Welton away from all of it) and what to put out in as best of quality as possible. Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |

The fact that this forum is open makes it easy for anyone using Google to find references to leaks and boots. | |

Prince tried that with Crystal Ball, it was a train wreck. | |
