Don't Do It!
Filed under: Prince
Prince is planning to sue YouTube because he's upset that they users are uploading his videos on the site without his permission.
Ughh!
You make music videos because you want people to see them, right????
"YouTube … are clearly able (to) filter porn and pedophile material but appear to choose not to filter out the unauthorized music and film content which is core to their business success," a statement released on his behalf said.
Don't do it, your purple one!

Greedy, pint-sized, has been…who cares about him anyway?

PRINCE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING FAG! DISGUSTING!
DO IT.
how fucking pathetic
what the eff
Who Care ! Do It !
Who Care ! Do It
Um, HELLO!?!?! It's YOUTUBE! Of COURSE you will see pirated movies and music videos, wtf do you expect? Although i am a little shocked. Who the HELL would upload a Prince video?!
DON'T DO IT! CAUSE LET ME TELL YA, If I had to choose Prince or Youtube, I'd choose youtube.
Here's some advice Prince:
1. Be glad people are even uploading your videos to youtube
2. Use youtube to create more awareness on your videos
3. DON'T BE A DICK AND SUE YOUTUBE
Re: axislove – Jimi Hendrix looked like he was gay also.Hell Robert Plant with those hip huggers still Looks Gay as Hell.BUT WHO REALLY CARES!!Its all about the music!
There's probably more to that story.
Prince won a Webby for being the first to bring out a through the internet exclusively - in 1997 – and for being an innovator at using the internet in his promotional activities.
He's internet-savvy…

Prince is a washed up piece of monkey shit. He or she is lucky that anyone is even watching or listening to any his music. Fucking has been.
You soooo missed the boat on this one. Let artists control the rights to their property.

Prince should worry about his own career than some stupid videos being downloaded and put out on YouTube. He should be grateful to them for even downloading and giving him publicity at the same time. Some people don't know who he is and thanks to sites they get to hear some of his music, what an idiot. How the hell does he expect to control the internet???!!! Its free game everybody is on it and YOuTube can't control thousands and thousands of videos THAT FANS PUT OUT FOR YOUR DUMBASS….HOW UNGRATEFUL AND RUDE!!! Let YouTUbe handle more serious situations like child pornography not some short little rich bitch complaining…give me a fucking break. If he doesn't want videos uploaded then he should stop singing and selling records altogether. Prince you SUCK!
isn't the whole point that you only get to see a shitty quality version of the video on youtube, which makes you want to see the real thing on the tellie, buy the song, etc.?
Yeesh… not like suing the YouTube site will stop people from uploading them… not like I care anyways… I don't even like Prince… or how freakishly creepy he looks… (I can't see why women *or men* would find him "sexy") *GAG*
ACTUALLY.
it was videos of his concerts and fake merchandise that he is upset about.
"Prince feels very strongly that people should remember his concerts as they were, not as some grainy mobile-phone footage," said sympatico msn news thingy and something about fake merch from China..or something…
whatever.
too tired to care now.
Prince is Master let him do what he wants.
Really. Be a freaking pain in the ass and you will become the same way Metallica came for me. They bitched so much about Napster that I have refused to buy anything or listen to their music since then.
Power to the people. When enough get on the record companies butts, things will change…and maybe the artists will be paid for what they make.
wow. Got my message censored asap.
Still. The more you complain, the more you become like Metallica. I refuse to buy/download or listen to anything from them because of the outcry against napster. And I am sure they are feeling it after all these years since they have been strangely silent.
I think we should sue Prince for crimes against music. why would anyone want to download his crap stuff? Word of warning Metallica.
I once got banned from Napster as it was claimed I downloaded song of theirs but I didn`t download their rubbish songs. I have never ever listened to them on pupose. They lost so many fans when they started pulling their greedy ass crap.
Has Prince got any fans left to loose though?
Prince is a f*ck head. He is a greedy f*ck too. How can he compare his lame ass videos to friggin sick perverted fucks who pray on children..he is a complete loser. He should be grateful ppl want to veiw his shit.
it's kind of interesting how we've all become desensitized to the concept of 'copyrighting'. they'll ultimately crack the whip on youtube, because of
the prevalence of copyright infringement on that site. the internet is like the
wild west, at the moment, but ultimately, more and more restriction will be
enforced and *that's a good thing*, as now it's simply a bastardized version of
what it was originally intended to be. prince has a point, as does any other artists whose stuff has been pirated on the internet… just because youtube has sanctioned piracy, doesn't make it right…
that's fucking shit!
he gave his album away for free and this bothers him? i bought my latest cd cos i heard it on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS HE STUPID?
Yes he is.
He clearly doesn't want to sell.
AND I AGREE WITH PRINCE 100000%
HE'S A BIG FAG….SO SUE ME ASSHOLE!!!!!!
Silly old queen should be happy that people still care. Love the caftan, Mary.
has he aged at all in the past 20 years? hes an alien.
Prince, don't do it man. I always enjoy a great musical talent and you are one of the best in the world.
Prince has every right to decide what happens to his image!
just because everyone does it doesnt mean its right
Prince is God's gift to music and women and anything he says is just fine by me!
He specifically asked b4 these concerts he's doing in london for no photos or videos.
He's just following thru.
Good for him for even bothering to follow his own career instead of letting idiots decide everything for him!
The artist formally known as pretentious asshole, as usual. I hate his croaky falsetto anyway.
He hasn't sued and won't. It's all just for press.
Obviously the guy isn't doing so well financially. (Because his music sucks) If he was he wouldn't give a crap. It is money grubbing obscurities that this that are going to ruin it for everyone. If YouTubes negatives start to exceed their gains they will just shut it down, and that would be a shame for everyone. Besides, who would download this losers music anyway? He should be happy YouTube is giving his crappy music exposure.
prince is above the law, he only abides by gods law, so you must all do as he says or suffer the wrath of khan (chaka - chaka - chaka)
he is also suing the royal family for unlawful use of his name, and 16,000 families in england have been sent legal letters asking them to cease and desist calling pet's "prince"
I hope he changes his mind…Youtube is a blessing…any artist regarding it as unfair competition is just not getting on with the times…And I also hope the next Prince album has more funk in it than his recent Planet Earth one…
