2 things.

1 - Don't mention NIN and Prince in the same thread. Especially when it comes to innovations on the internets. Famtards here will skin you alive.

2 - Been there, done this.

Unless I missed the memo,who said it was a competition?

Prince would charge for something like this. Probably 50 dollars to get some new "exclusive" photoshopped pics of him and whoever he is fucking right now.

Also, no one mentioned a competition. He was just stating how someone who was so innovative when it came to grassroots internet promotion and distribution has fallen off dramatically. It's ashame really, but it goes to show how much Prince is out of touch. The Opus was the nail in coffin on that.....

The whole idea that Prince does or does NOT do something like some other artist is just getting TIRED as hell. Prince is prince.....and the NIN is NIN.

I guess you are missing the point while tryin gto defend Prince. Look, we all have love for the man, it's what brings us here. However, we can criticize. I mean it's not exactly easy being a Prince fan. Lotusflow3r website mystery ($77), the opus,etc. The man is a trendsetter no doubt, but he has really shown that he is out of touch with things lately.

If Prince did something like this he would charge for it. you know he would.

U mean like 3 new cd's for $11.98?

Graycap23 said:

Really? How else would he have sold 3 cds? I mean people would have downloaded them anyway.

Again you are missing the point. What NIN created was somethingfor their FANS. What Prince does is charge a lot of money for his FANS. The 3 discs or 12 doallars was priced to be aimed at the average buyer.....

I get your point but I think u are missing mine. Kool, let NIN do their thing....and let Prince do his. That is MY point.

Graycap23 said:

Nah man, I get your point. But wouldn't it be just as cool if Prince was doing something this innovative? I mean he was heading in this direction back in 96, what happened?

larksanders said:

I hear u, but he can't be everything 2 everybody. There are only so many hours in a day.

That's not very interesting. I guess cuz i'm not into gadgets n things like that.

But I agree he as well as other musicians can do more with their website, especially a paid one.
