Maybe Prince cries like his mother... two, four

From MSNBC:

Fan sites dedicated to Prince say they have been served legal notice to remove all images of the singer, his lyrics and “anything linked to Prince’s likeness,”...

The sites, now featuring an image of a hand print with “pfu” written on it, said the singer had demanded the removal of fans’ photographs of Prince-inspired tattoos and vehicles displaying Prince-inspired license plates.

Prince's representatives say the music star's position is being misrepresented by Prince Fans United (website), which was formed by the owners of the three websites being sued, but one must wonder about the wisdom of filing legal action against the .1 percenters who have been holding his torch.

I understand the need for artists to protect their copyrights and get paid for their work. I really do. But these are the people he should nurture and cultivate... help them be his fans, even if it costs him money in the short run.

These fans are more valuable as friends than enemies. - Cam Beck

This reminds me of the superstar athletes who charge kids for an autograph. Celebrities treating their fans like dirt - makes no sense to me. Of course, athletes don't get paid by their fans like Prince does.
