The discussion in this thread that I most care about today focuses on the original thread subject: the fate of the Netflix Prince documentary.

However, my prediction for the final end to Mr. McMillan and Mr. Spicer's stake in the Prince Estate is that after a time of bearing the heavy lift of their executive roles toward the estate's proceedings, they shall tire and relenquish it to the highest cash bidder upon currency exchange--reminding me of the way Prince would bargain a single lump-sum payout for the exclusive right to distribution of an album project.

If those attorneys are throwing such unprofessional fits on social media at this juvenile stage of the Estate's project developments, that won't take long, IMO--especially as we're hearing of so many different, reasonable material pitches that quite a few people around here and everywhere else are pitching to develop varied commercial access toward the Vault recordings; ideas that they're (apparently, LOL) not even considering.

Makemilluons is worrying wrongly that it would have a negative effect on Prince's Legacy.A completely positive piece would have zero interest from non fans.This slight bit of controvery would gain interest from them.In reality less than 1% would have prob with it & estate would gain miles more fans from it .It seems 2 paint a fair picture of events .Makemillions is treating the doc as if it were a court case were every negative fact presented in doc as 2 b witnessed by a few people.Sooner they get rid of Makemillions the bette.He'sa greedy money man who thinks he own's Prince's legacy.The guy who made the doc would b better in charge of estate as he would give u more product than he should.
I don't think many of us are happy with how Makemillions is handling things now. It's literally a nightmare that he and Spicer are running the estate.

You have a complex way of explaining this, but I think you somehow hit some sort of future reality here. An interesting assumption.

summary : “they might get tired of fighting with their own clumsy created situations, that might lead to sell The Estate/Prince LLC, to ahighest bidder."

And if this ever should happen, (we can only dream about it), those new folks in charge should be far more competent, with far better and open communicative, and with real care for what can be shared with the fans and the world.

We should be careful what we wish for. Are we happy with Primary Wave, for example? Are they really willing to release (new) music or are they just happy to "milk the cow"?

Unless we get some 'producer' who buys there stake and releases updated or remixed versions of unreleased and released tracks with some current nobody rapping or autotuning over it to make it more appealing to all the non-real music lovers. That would be a nightmare
