Lately, Prince and his lawyers have been relentless in their quest to prove that they’ve had it up to here *reaching my hand in the air above Prince’s permed scalp* and they ain’t taking no more sheeeeeeit! Prince and his lawyers are going after BitTorrent indexing site The Pirate Bay, and a group of fan sites that he claims are illegally distributing his music and his image. The Purple One is not playing around.
I don’t know what to think of this. On one hand, I understand that he wants to make all the money that he can off of his catalogue. On the other hand, to sue your fans is, for lack of a better description, sort of a dick move. Especially considering that he is nowhere near in need of the money he stands to gain if the lawsuits are successful. As a matter of fact, I should sue his ass for charging $85 a ticket for the cheap seats at his last tour! I know the show was probably unbelievable, but for $85, y’all will just have to tell me about it the next day.
Prince, if you’re reading this, I’m about to post a song of yours on here, right now. It’s a beautiful ditty. A song so sensual that most likely, a number of late-80′s bastard children were conceived to it thanks to the unprotected sex in parked cars and apartment building rooftops it inspired.
Now, before you and your overpaid lawyers try to sue me, let me make three things abundantly clear:
1.) I bought the album, so this MP3 is MINE, GOT-DAMN IT!
2.) I disabled the “download” option, so I’m not giving it away to anyone.
3.) I truly love and enjoy your music, and I just want to share that joy with others.
Oh yeah, I thought of another one…Possibly the biggest reason not to sue me. YOU’D BE WASTING YOUR TIME! I don’t have money like that, so it would be pointless to sue. If you did sue me, you may as well leave the front door of Paisley Park open so I can put a foot to your ass and at least EARN a legitimate lawsuit! An MP3 lawsuit is beneath a legend like you. Now an aggravated assault one is news-worthy.
I’m not threating to kick Prince in his chest and leave a size 11 footprint on his frilly little lace blouse. I just wanted to illustrate my point. I have a great deal of respect for the man and his music, which is why I feel that these actions are beneath him. I just wish he’d rethink this “I’m suing the entire internet” crusade he has going right now.
By the way, if Prince’s lawyers contact me, I’m scanning the letter and putting it up here, just to show that I have managed to piss off an A-List celebrity for once! This is a big step up from getting contacted by Mr. Marcus’ people!

(The best thing I’ve read all month). that’s damn near a quote that needs to be like trademarked or something
LMAO!! Ok, Leon, you’ve definitely brightened up my stank mood with this one.
And that Prince song…yeah, man, that’s a definite panty-dropper right there…
lol…I don’t steal prince music..but since he is daring me…I might start…lol
Kinda odd, all that. It’s like Prince is entering his terrible twos. “That’s MINE! MINE!!!”
Great post, Leon! LOL at your hand above Prince’s permed scalp…that’s not to far from the floor. Pretty lil thang. Prince, sit your ass down!
Wait a sec…
Is what Prince is doing no different from when other bloggers steal your blog entries? I mean,, Prince has lawyers to sic his fans but you have us blog readers to tear the offender a new “A”.
to sue your own damn fans thats just ridiculous. you dont bite the hand that feeds you. granted they are stealing his music but look at what the whole lawsuit is doin to his image. its making him appear to be a prick. what kind of artist formally known as…himself…would sue his own fans? if anything people has been stealing his shit since “when doves cry” or “diamonds and pearls” or some other shit. maybe all those perms and blouses and make up team and shit costs him too much money to maintain and he’s going bankrupt and he doesnt want to resort to selling his pretty ass on the strip so he’s going to sue his fans….i dont know that guess was kind of out there but it makes you think.
But Prince has always been prick…
Yeah, he always has been a true diva, or prick, since he hasn’t admitted to being gay! But his music is on the one. Perhaps he is bored and has nothing else to do.
Prince is just bitter that his career has finally shrunk to the same size as his manhood!
Simon Jones, hahahahahaha that is funny!
i love prince dont get me wrong. and i think he is just bored like you said. how much you want to bet he’s goin to have his own reality show sooner or later. everyone who has a reality show is washed up one way or the other. he’s going to be on the surreal life LMAO
have to agree with wonderlove..hes a dick.. a talented one…but quite pointy nonetheless..
xoxo
Prince is seriously wildin’ here! seriously. the past few weeks havent been all that kind to torrent sites either…joints have been getting shut down left and right! unrelated: its been a while since I stopped through man…the redesign is whats up. peace.
Oh Leon. You just had to link to that old Mr. Marcus post, didn’t you. You got me at my desk praying…
I love me some Mr. Marcus. *licks lips* I usually try to avoid these thoughts at work, but… *fanning myself* You see, we have one of those “special” satellite boxes at home where we got all the “special” channels. Long story short, the man made me go out and buy a barstool, more so inspired me to thinking I could accomplish what they did on a barstool with my boyfriend… *deep sigh* And we don’t even have a bar height counter in our apt. It’s really hard to lure him from the back bedroom to the barstool in the front room, so now I’m stuck with a pointless purchase. My boyfriend keeps the barstool by the front door, and we keep our phone chargers and keys on it.
One day I caught the Spanish playboy channel showing nothing but Mr. Marcus for about two hours, and I just had to stop and look. Spanish chick after Spanish chick. I mean, I don’t even give tv my 100% attention, but I was focused. And my boyfriend walked in looking at me all weird, because I was at home watching porn by myself… I shushed him quickly. It was almost like he interrupted the season finally for Grey’s Anatomy. And do you know one chick took off his hat… I was shocked. I didn’t think the hat could be removed.
Oh, but another note, Prince is full of it, and his tickets are so high, because he has to force his fans to buy the album through ticket sells. Or something like that, I don’t know; but back to Mr. Marcus…
I Marleaux, if you like Mr. Marcus, you’d love me! Leon Jr. jr. reigns supreme! That’s all I can say, since you have a boyfriend…lol. Also, if you want to get broke off on the barstool, start up your next sexual encounter in the front room, then either suggest it, or just climb on there and signal him to come over and do his thing. Most guys don’t need an engraved invitation. We can take the hint!
Emkay, thanks. Glad to see you made your way over here!
@ Mrs Sarkastic, he’s too private to have a reality show.
@ Suicide, Wonderlove VA Hostage and Simon Jones, yeah, he definitely appears to be a prick.
@ AUA, that’s funny
@ Jaunari, don’t put that in print! You’ll get sued!
@ TQB, I’ll bring my Prince CD with me if I ever visit NY ;)
Thank you @ Chevon
LMAO @ LEON
Your too funny. Yeah Prince always been a little douche bag about himself. He hated being pimped by his company that’s why he changed himself into a symbol. I posted his new material hear called PFUNK, if you guys want to listen.
Hurry up before this ass takes the link down or sue me for all of my ad money which couldn’t even buy me a pair of tube socks.

LOL $85 a damn seat? And I’m probably in the balcony where I can’t see shit, including that big ass monitor that zooms in and out of his face? Man Prince better bring apolonia or vanity somethin for that. I wanna see the pants with the ass cheeks out, something classic. Anyway thats halarious and Prince really does need to upgrade his lawsuits
