I see your point and you're right. It is more about control issues than money in this instance.

(but I do still think he's money obsessed. )

Way to go Prince! You've managed to loose and piss off yet another devoted fan. you go boy!


I wonder what type of gun Prince uses to contiunally shoot himself in the foot with; it seems like a real effective one.

good for you prince...bootlegs are illegal...if you own them...you're not a true fan

i don't think he uses wimpy stuff, like a smith & wesson or an ak-47...



...he probably goes all-out and gets the big mofos.

That is one of the most UNCOOL things he has ever done!!!I continue to be baffled by this man.As much as I love him I am getting really frustrated and pissed at shit like this!!These people bust their humps and spend quality time supporting his ass!!I just don't get it.If P wants to control the flow of everything then he should release the stuff himself!!We would be happy,he would make a mint,his world would be under his control.No problems.I really just don't get it.Totally illogical.That site was adamantly against telling you wher to get the stuff.They just rated it and gave you history.fantastic for a Prince fan!!Why is this a problem??You shake your damned ass in yellow tights to get fans then when you get them you spit on them.Karma,baby.And I would GLADLY give him my hard earned cash for mint shows and leftovers.Gladly.P chooses to flip me off,though.Fucking great!

It was actually thebumpsquad who made the initial post under his club name PR1NCE. I was over there posting a fair bit though. The thread is still there, and for the most part has been receiving support from anyone who thinks for themselves. The usual purple blinkered muppets have been making statements about how evil bootlegs are etc, and I personally can't be bothered repeating myself everytime they make false and stupid comments. I flat out asked for a response from the PP's as to why this action was taken and exactly what laws they believed reviewing bootlegs contravened, but as yet they have been silent.
This was the second thread started about this over there yesterday. The first one got deleted in about an hour, and the initial post was less "combatative"(as PP9 stated about the above). Maybe they are taking the details of all the supporters and plan to stick the lawyers on us!
BTW, so far, as far as I know, one member has been banned from the forums for posting on this thread "in protest I just ordered a new 12 disc set". They still have no sense of humour there.

True...

And to Mr. Nelson...be aware that ur legendly status is 50% a result of so called bootlegging...take that into consideration...plus it was u Mr. Nelson who spread all the music out here...who else could have realased such things as Madhouse 24 or whatever is out there...out of ur studio.

JW's suck big time...just get rid of this ridicule attitude of religion...try to watch life from a zen point of view and enjoy...

And cut out Mr. L. Graham...and all the minister bull- and please leave me alone with ur consideration of the present when u enjoy "Best of"- tours...make new music and for goods sake play it and let it be heard...like TRC...that it.

But one thing...start respecting those who have bought mostly all of ur records...which are officially out there...they made ur fame and wealth.

Thank u Mr. Nelson

Money (greed) and control (power) go hand in hand.

What a slave...

What really gets me is you have all these sites about boots of movies listed all over the place.VERY widely known about been on cnn the other news all over.Yet they run and continue just fine.You think the studios want those sites up,yet somehow they continue.

How is it the purple pal of ours gets this stuff shut down.People must cave.Well go underground like all the other good sites do.

www.smallclub.org is now gone too. Looks like the "big year for Prince" is starting by getting rid of some of his most ardent fans. I am truly sad at this state of affairs.

I know having an appreciation for prince's music the last
decade has had it's challenges, most of them coming from
Princes lack of control of how his music has been distrubted. It's because of his genius that we've continued
to follow him through these changes. What's a genius without conflict? On a higher plane I think the guy
needed a long sabitcal to reflect on his life and what he
really wants to contribute and how. I think he's using
religion right now to get us off his back and our expectations as well. He really does bleed and I have
faith that soon it will all make sense. The exchange of
music and it's cost to musicans and consumers is the
best pimp game there is.
