Prince taking on everyone.....

[kombat96 10+ year member]

Back in September, Prince let his plans known to target companies and sites including eBay, Pirate Bay and YouTube in a crusade against copyright infringement. Since then, the artist has enlisted the help of the Web Sheriff company to aid in his battle with the Internet. Recently he stirred up controversy by targeting unofficial fan sites with cease and desist letters which seek details on how he would be compensated.

Now it is being reported that Prince is lining up lawyers to take aim at the big fish, the Pirate Bay. As well as targeting the Pirate Bay itself, Web Sheriff will also target companies that advertise on the site. It also will reportedly investigate the Pirate Bay's compliance with Swedish and International tax regulations.

Prince's entourage had previously issued a statement explaining that they are not targeting fans for lawsuits, but instead are seeking out "phoney" sites. Prince Fans United (PFU), a site setup to defend the targeted fan sites dismissed the statement as "confusing, libelous and misleading".

After reading this i had a tear in my eye, this guy has an ego the size of texas. I mean really is he that mad cause his songs are getting pirated or is he REALLY mad cause his songs arent getting pirated. Prince hasnt released anything worth listening to in yeeeears. i figure he must have a new album or greatest hit coming out & is trying to get his "name", "symbol" out there in some type of controversy.

He might be able to force an injunction and sue for compensation. Throwing someone in jail is unlikely.

Ford is worth billions and they shut down unofficial sites sometimes.

Ones worth is irrelevant to their right to protect intellectual properties.
