I know no one by the name of Prince, as far as I’m concerned there is no one to claim copyright infringement. By the way douchebag, I recorded your songs from the radio on tape, then I burned the tape and pissed on the ashes because you suck.

Aww now that’s a real shame I’m a Prince fan and I love his videos and songs from those sites. Come on Prince I have enjoyed what you do and feel like I’m a part of your scene but I don’t want to be a part of anything that would harm any of your fans so I can’t stand with you on this one. I like Prince being crazy in a good way and having a symbol for a name it’s inspiring to me I mean I am Boomer The Dog and that’s more than just an alt name for web boards.

Also how are Prince and other artists not able to reclaim their art that doesn’t really make sense to me. Like you can’t make any more music if there are pirates? How can someone steal the soul of your music? Why would 30-year legends like this attack anyone he should be relaxin’ about now.

Too many questions from my dirty mind. I’m going to listen to my extended version of Computer Blue before Prince pulls all of his stuff and I start to feel bad about this..

Ironic that he embraced the internet as a distibution method for his music until he went broke now it is his enemy.
I tell you what “Prince” maybe you forgot from the 80′s but when you put out good music you make M-O-N-E-Y

That is about as idiotic as metallica wanting to sue everyone years ago because their music ended up on some p2p sites.

They became irrevelant and so will Prince if he keeps up this stupidity.

you are in for a big challange prince.

look at http://thepiratebay.org/legal then look at the White Stripes / WEB SHERIFF part a lawsuit like the one you are proposing has been attempted with no success.

you see in sweden only art is considered copyrightable and swedes dont recognize music as art.

isn’t this the same guy (i use the term ‘guy’ loosely here) who gave an album away free as a newspaper insert? why yes it is. here is the article with a great quote at the end of it.

Friday June 29 2007
The Guardian

The eagerly awaited new album by Prince is being launched as a free CD with a national Sunday newspaper in a move that has drawn widespread criticism from music retailers.

The Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday that the 10-track Planet Earth CD will be available with an “imminent” edition making it the first place in the world to get the album. Planet Earth will go on sale on July 24.

“It’s all about giving music for the masses and he believes in spreading the music he produces to as many people as possible” said Mail on Sunday managing director Stephen Miron.
