PRINCE THREATENS TO SUE HIS FANS OVER ONLINE IMAGES


[+] ballot by UncleRandy
created Wed Nov 07, 07

He's a singer who has made some odd career moves in his time, from changing his name to an unpronounceable love symbol to scrawling "slave" on his cheek in protest at his record company.

But industry experts yesterday warned that Prince's latest decision might be the most controversial of all.

He has threatened to sue thousands of his biggest fans for breach of copyright, provoking an angry backlash and claims of censorship.

His lawyers have forced his three biggest Internet fan-sites to remove all photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to the artist's likeness. A legal letter asks the fan-sites to provide "substantive details of the means by which you propose to compensate our clients for damages".

What do you think?

that has to be the worst career move that he ever made. EVER.

he is now surviving on the grace of his fans, now that he alienated all the record companies.

I heard years back that Prince did nothing while his father lived in poverty.

I know that he's probably skittish on having his likeness out of his domain, since his run-in with Warner, but this crosses a few parsecs.
