Are Prince's Lawsuits Getting Less Heavy-Handed?

I just came across a site which had received a letter from Prince's attorneys, advising him to stop manufacturing, distributing and selling bootleg DVDs and videos.

I was actually surprised that they gave him two weeks to stop what he was doing, rather than taking him straight to court...

I'll tell you what boggles my mind: the fact that an unauthorized company can make a shoddy dvd of 'Sign "O" The Times' & put it into major chain stores, & not raise Prince's eyebrows. (Or is that letter above for that particular company?)

No this is not the Brazillian SOTT and they had permission from Univesal to produce that.

Ah, the lovely Mr. Simon Quinn confused

I never did see the point of him posting this letter on his site.
He quite openly sells boots. No question about that - so the point of letting folks know he got a letter from Prince's lawyers would be.....?

Maybe the MOON will SHINE a little light on this subject.

I'm just bitter.....cuz he's a prick.

i'm guessin that it's the online equivalent of him gettin his first tattoo: "ooh lookie, i got the Paisley Legal Mafioso on my ass! i'm baaaaad!" lol

and to sell bootleggage in plain view of everybody...i bet he knew he had it comin. confused
