So Jack, what do you think of the news that Prince is taking on the Pirate Bay?

I say good luck and I look forward to viewing new stuff on the legal threat section of their web-site .  Fun reading, for sure!

It's interesting to see an artist that has been such a maverick in the industry and one of the first to embrace online distribution to go monkey nuts over copyright infringement online (he recently threatened to sue eBay and YouTube too).  I mark it up to him being a control freak.  He's very protective of his art and wants total control over it.  He recently hired Web Sheriff to help him crack down on this stuff, who have already sent cease and desist letters to three fan sites to remove copyrighted images off their sites (which seems to have backfired in PR as news of "Prince suing thousands of his fans" filled the newswires last week).

Oh well, he is a living genius so who are we to question?
