I've not even been on that many forums.
b3ta isn't about dancing on the edge of legality and shitting on celebrities though, really, is it? I always just thought b3ta was a place for people to come and post pictures of silly things and nonsense and cats and occasionally shit on celebrities if they felt like it.
...we're not in the business of martyrship anymore, no?
The b3ta board never started with this in mind. and all those involved in its maintenence and development have other projects regardless.
It's a pleaseant side effect of being pragmatic in terms of the number of people who use b3ta, to make an silly apology, and just get on with it. Precedents have been set elsewhere, but the immediacy of this situation is not really in line with causal change. at least not in the short term.

Seriously, after what Prince and his trigger happy lawyers have done I'm going to use my influence to make sure that everyone near me knows what a complete twunt Prince is and stop buying anything he is involved with. I hope this'll make some small difference to the world and I suggest we all do the same, together we can influence quite a large proportion of the public. I think that a simple question of the week challenge doesn't warrant heavy handed treatment like this and quite frankly disgusts me.

I agree,
however I think he's shit, and so do all my friends, so it won't make too much of an impact.
that most of us feel. I'm also going to continue not buying his records, but anyone I know will know about Prince's campaign against free speech. I also think that perhaps he cracks down like this in order to generate publicity about himself. (after all, all publicity is meant to be good publicity) Self obsessed twat

Hear hear.
And for the record I'd like to add that I think he's a shortarsed pompous little cunt trumpet.
*EDIT*
In fact, everyone should click "I like this" on this thread and get that image^ on the frontpage.
Technically no-one buys his records any more, and that's the point of all this
His most recent album was given away free, as have many of his other works lately.
Basically, the argument runs that his primary source of income now is his performances, not actually selling records. Due to this, he argues that people 'stealing' materials from his performances is theft of his primary income source. Due to this it (apparently) falls outside of the 'fair use' rule of copyright.
His view is that there's bugger all money to be made from actually selling records now, and there's going to be even less in the future (fair enough, I think most of us would agree with that), so if musicians are going to be able to support themselves then they need to protect their other revenue stream (performing live) and in return they'll give away their music free. We don't pay for the music, but we don't get to piss around with things that he considers to impinge on his chances of profiting from the live concerts.
Yeah, it's a very grey legal area, and I don't blame Rob for a moment for backing out of the debate. I just thought that it might be handy to clarify the other side of the argument. (He's still acting like a dick, but he does have a unique legal position, and quite an interesting view of the future of music.)

(as many have)
hurt his revenue stream from live performances? I don't see how he can claim damage to his livelihood due to fan sites posting his image, or indeed, headswaps with MsPaint.

I guess it's a case of not knowing where to draw the line, so blanketing the whole thing as bad.
When you draw a line of what you say is allowed you are always going to have a grey area. By saying 'nope, you're not allowed anything, you can all eff off' he makes it far easier in the future to collar anyone who is genuinely damaging his income, e.g. people selling extensive photographic or video recordings of his performances. It means being draconian now, but it gets much easier for him in the future because of this.
Again, I'm not saying he's going about it the right, but I can see a vague sense behind it. The revenue from selling records is falling for the musicians, and a new model does need to be found if there's going to be any future for bands making a living from their music. Prince's solution probably isn't the right way to solve the problem, but I can't blame him for trying to do something about it, because that's more than most of the industry.

I agree that it makes perfect sense as a strategy for TAFKAP,
I just don't think it can be on a firm legal standpoint to claim damages.
Unless he intends to sell images of himself, in which case posting an image on the web is limiting to that business.
I dunno.

I can only assume that's part of what he wants to do, otherwise, as you say, it doesn't make much legal sense.

Not libel.

I think it would be hard to prove a statement a vague as "Prince is shit"
you might be able to legally prove things like "Prince steals other people's lyrics" or "Prince doesn't write his own stuff", but not just his general shitness.
