No, they removed it themselves
just like all my CDCs about a year ago
at least this time they had the decency to tell me

I think the best thing of all this is imagining the poor soul who has to sort through the millions of cocks and Prince images that'll be hosted on that site. Bloody marvellous.

However...
What if the person was actually a b3tan, and was forced to do it by their job?
How crushed would their spirit be...

sucks to be prince - a bunch of people he doesn't know are making stupid pictures of him and actually raising his profile slightly

to be fair, I think his profile is still pretty damn high
selling ot 21 nights in a row at the 02 arena and giving away an album with the Daily Mail do wonders...

Am I mistaken
or does copyright law contain provisions for 'fair use', one of which is the use of images and likenesses for the purpose of parody?

That symbol is a trademark I'm sure,

Wankers.
I'd say that if there was still anyone out there on the planet that had the slightest respect for that jumped-up self-promoting one-man hype machine, then there isn't any more...

What a load of smelly bollocks copyright law is.
And that's all I have to say on the subject.

Also,
I was under the impression that to infringe a trademark, you had to be using it to promote a similiar trade or service to the one it is registered for in the first place. Since no-one here appears to be using it in association with any business of any sort then where is the infringement?

depends on the country...
I doubt A) anyone on here needs to be worried about being sued, it's a waste of money. and b)pwnership and copyright of the images can be proved anyway...

I have a customer who's a lawyer. He has a cartoon stuck on the wall,clipped from a journal.
It depicts who lawyers, one junior and one senior. The junior is sitting in a chair, listening to his senior with rapt attention. The senior stands by the window, surveying the world and says "Remember Michael, not only must justice be done, but it must be *paid* to be done."
