Actually, if you notice, they change it from the initial "why and idiot" to "what and idiot" then "what a idiot."

Clever, sorry Snatched looks like I may be the senile one;)

Eh, took me a couple reads to notice it.

This comming from they guy that did not make a decent hit in a long time the last album he recently made only had one memorable track musicology and that was it. He already has made enough money and is still doing so i dont see the problem.

I have feeling this will show up in the legal threats section..Yay now for some laughing at Prince.

See, no offense, but I just don't get that kind of attitude. How can you determine what is enough money? You know the old saying, the definition of "rich" is anyone making $1 more than you...

It's obvious you people have no idea about Prince or what's going on with him and the music industry. Maybe I can clarify a few things for all of you.

1. He had a disagreement with his publisher/producer so he wanted to stop touring but since he was under contract he would have been sued. So, he changed his name in order to be able to perform while avoiding a law suit. Once you sign with someone, they own your name and image.

Also, there was a period when one of the producers went to the judge and blocked him from changing his name and forced him to perform so he wrote the words SLAVE all over his body & face. Afterwords, the company cancelled his contract.

These tactics that he's used have been successful for him in regards to renegotiating his contract. At one point, he was Vice President of Warner Music and brokered a multi-million dollar deal. All of which was short-lived.

2. He's only suing company's that distribute pirated music. He has a right to his music.

Well heres my thoughts:
1. He has a right to protect his copyright on his music.
2. He is just throwing money at a lawsuit against a company that has held it's own many times before. Because TPB will probably win, Prince is just throwing his money at them which will result in his mattress being only a hundred miles minus one inch off the ground instead of a hundred miles off the ground.

Prince, my man, don't be a douche.

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!

Don't buy, don't listen, anything that has Prince to do with. then will see who loose what !!!

I am and was not Prince fan of his music anyway. Prince has not even got a penny from me, beacuse I have not even wasted my time listen to his music. Crappy music anyways downfall.

please people use spell check, some of the posts really "corn fuse" me. Also, I have never been a fan of Prince. Wasn't he the one that sang purple rain or was that Tiny Tim?

Agreed, sum of teh posts r hard 2 reed cuz ppl dont no how to use sumwat of ne good spellin n grammr. I tend to just skip over those posts rather than try to decrypt them. Although, no offense, but you didn't capitalize the "p" in please.

What is Prince?... homo, gay, trans...uhmm, I'm "corn fuse" too. ha..ha..ha

haha let him throw his money away at Web Sheriff, who im sure justified their services by claiming that all this piracy was loosing him X figure of money and then said we can run this campaign for you for y ammount.

Who is guessing that Y was less than X.

Really let him waste his money as do you really think that paying web sherrif money is going to have any impact thats going to ever make him more money then him payed them is very very miss guided.

look at this page:

http://www.websheriff.com/outlaws.htm

i wonder if all these people are their clients, do they have the rights to use there images, does britney know they are displaying booby pictures of her on their site.

"SLAVE", yes, I'll have to try that at work when they call me back. Received a big 12 cent raise this year. All industry in this area is moving out. What is the secret to making a million? Must have missed that one. Going to have to learn to play a guitar and write my songs, too old to be an athlete. Can you get a good start on Myspace or Youtube? What ever happened to Tiny Tim? Boy? George is still around? Do U really want to hurt me? Or is it an Alpha's gene trait? Prince created some good content, just as B. Spears.

I have never been able to stomach Prince or his music, although Purple Rain was possibly good example of its era. Its funny though, one minute he's giving away all his stuff with British newspapers and then suddenly he's going to sue several organisations which are giving him publicity. Audio and video quality on You Tube etc is not HD by any stretch of the imagination so why his oscillating behaviour from one extreme to the other. Perhaps he is bi-polar or suffere from attention deficit disorder, but who can say for sure. My advice to You Tube is pull all his stuff and the sooner the better. Dont let him exploit you to sell his turgid doggerel. My advice to Prince however is that maybe he could take up painting as this would be quieter and more calming.

WOW! Plazma247, that Websheriff site sure is full of pigpoop. Someone should hack it and paste swatstikas all over their background. And if that's Britney with her boobs, they're really sad.

lol at the bottom of the page on websheriff intro page it says something about using legal music or some s*it, well... any ways if you click the link you can eaysly save the page and bota boom bota bing free music! even if it is the world's worst band!

HAHAHA good one epest i didnt notice that PMSL the YMCA, says a lot about web sheriff. haha

Also just looked on ebay and found:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PRINCE-PLANET-EARTH-ALBUM-NEW-CD-10-TOP-TRACKS-LOW-P-P_W0QQitemZ290160797928QQihZ019QQcategoryZ1049QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So they cant be doing a very good job, lol

Some people are just megalomaniacs and feel a need to try to control every aspect of their lives even things that are out of their hands more or less. I'm going to be the one to actually admit to liking Prince's music despite his freakish behavior. It's too bad all his efforts to reignite his career are going to be totally stifled by this action just like 'mullet-baby' Lars Ulrich and his crybaby incident that more or less ruined Metallica's reputation. Oh well it's his choice to make. It's not the eighties any more Princy!

wow your right plazma247 i saw his cd going for a penny man this guy has worse sells than britney spears.... although her ex-bf had sales worse than prince i don't even think f-fed sold over 2k albums!

As they have now taken that Ebay item down, is it possible that websheriff were notifed when i flagged it here.... if so who do i send my bill 2 hey ???

My mistake its still there, lol.

You know that this story would make more since if Prince teamed up with Media Defender... they are the guys that take down torrent trackers....bas*ards

Also there is 1 alright song by prince... Pussy control

lol, Kanye West the bible boy makes fun of prince in his new song Stronger!
