Prince – Doing to YouTube what Metallica did to Napster
Prince has recently announced that he will be suing YouTube. Anybody thinking "Whoa, didn't Metallica ruin Napster by pulling stunts like this?"
This is a guy who gets mansions built for him in cities where he does concerts, and gets more money than God for putting on concerts. People pay $150 for a ticket to one of his shows, and then he just performs whenever he feels like. Since he's from Minnesota, where I live, there used to be a small sense of pride. Unfortunately though this guy just turns into a bigger and bigger douchebag as time goes on!
Prince has always maintained that he's done what he's done because he loves the music so much...obviously such is not the case. You can't fault somebody for wanting to make money, I'm all about it, but Prince is not losing money from his fans checking his stuff out on YouTube...what a jerkass.

If he’s so worried about copyright laws and money, why did he give away a s*** load of CD’s in a British Newspaper? Oh, and thanks for the national pride dumbass – how about an American newspaper? I guess we’re just not pretentious enough for you.
