What's going on with Prince's Tidal page?

The 'EP & Singles' section is loaded with non-Prince / different artists called Prince.

Small Club is loaded and streamable as a legit album.

Does nobody manage it?

Someone must have found out about small club because now it's not playable. That "Prince" wannabe jerk has always tried to put his singles in P's single section.

There's folks like that on the YouTube channel as well that have no business being in there.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Besides this crappy Taiwanese duo called Prince & Chris, it's incredible how many bootlegs are listed as official Prince releases on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@...e/releases

I guess the Estate doesn't care because they also get royalties from those being played, but seriously, it's really lame that casual listeners aren't able to differentiate those boots from canon releases rolleyes

It's not just with Prince, lots of other popular artists and bands have this issue on YT. So I guess YT is to blame here.

If you believe it's their role to police such things, yes, but this is debatable. Though I guess now with AI they may have their algorithm identify bootlegs and sort them apart effortlessly, IDK. But as long as they're not pressured to do so by artists and labels or audiences, it's not really their problem. The artists and labels have to tackle this.
