4 things I'd say to Prince.
1) Get over yourself, you're only making a t*t of yourself.
2) You stopped needing more money a long time ago. Like many bands have realised the big money isn't in CD/DVD sales (the companies get most of that) it's in merchandise & touring.
3) Wake up to the new reality, you're happy enough to have all your songs played 'free' over the airwaves (and the new DAB radios can record perfect digital copies and be copied from) so wake up & go with it.
4) You aren't Jimi Hendrix no matter how much you wish it were so.
....and I bet he'd be really devastated. lol
Devastated? Psh, ya right. He would just sue you; possibly for defacing his image by bring those to light.

To go after people who adore him just makes no sense to me. These people are his true fans and he takes them down? I would never buy another album from any of my favorite artists if they ever pulled that one.
As for TPB, I feel sorry that he is going to expend so much time, energy and $$$ for that. He needs better legal counsel. Even if he wins, at what cost? He's already alienated any true fans he did have. When is this going to end?

The way I picture this scene.
TPB is sitting on an enormously high chair with a light shining down only on Prince and his lawyers. They present a case which TPB answers by saying "no", and opening a trap door into another dimension. :)
Live or die, support the hydra!

The man(?) is talking out of his(?) ass, he needs to read up on Swedish law which the Pirate Bay's lawyers know much better than him. I would be seriously surprised if he got anywhere with this.
On a side note: you guys who say that he's alienating his fans with these actions, seem to forget that there will always be enough sheep to buy his crap no matter what, enough anyway to keep his stupid ass rich. Unfortunately. I'd love to see the guy do a daily job.

the reason why prince is doing this is because he can not make good music anymore so hence he is trying to make as much money from the old stuff he has done. stop wasting your time with thi prince and create more music.
