People are quick to make assumptions when they don't know the truth. Prince doesn't sit on his computer searching for your videos. WMG owns the rights to this song and you failed to dispute the removal on grounds of fair use.
How you know its Warners and not Prince and his lawyers, because Prince tried to sue a woman whose baby was dancing while one of Prince's songs played in the background!
excuse my ingnorance....so now people are not allowed to perform anyones songs anymore??? even if they change the lyrics slightly or the melody?? i dont see how that is harming their sales?? sometimes you want to hear the song changed?? nothing wrong with that
Prince has nothing to do with any of it, Universal has him by contract so he's just a puppet really, he's got no say in what they do with his music. So to answer your question(s) It's only Universal, they think that muting these videos will get more sells, and it will.
if you don't have the guts to stand up against the music industries at least please delete vids with no sound or crap like that, cuz in won't help anyone, OK?
@princeben7 Prince wants them muted...if they cannot be heard on youtube free the rationale is you'll just have to purchase it. There is another singer who allows audio but not visual with his music but I don't recall who. Makes me crazy when the more I try & remember the more it eludes me!
We love music! We can't stand by silently while the music industry continues its decades-long effort to lock up our culture! If you think that it sucks that audio had to be disabled here BOYCOTT MUSIC INDUSTRY!
- Only buy audio-cds second-hand from now on (Use amazon's second-hand section or ebay from apparently private persons)
- Don't download from online music stores anymore
- Support self-marketing bands
- Spread this message here on every muted video you encounter
i dont understand why they wont let people seee it? its better than other shit. and they let us see like naked people on here and they wont let us seee price. its mad.
Youtube has nothing to do with it. Thats Prince is bullshit. He has threaten to sue his fans for posting his video's on youtube. Don't believe me google it...
Frankly, I hope you were NOT calling me an idiot... I realize what is going on... Maybe I should have articulated my concern a little better. I am probably one of the BIGGEST Prince fans out there. The part I "don't" get - is that Prince will NOT lose his older fan base - but he is definately jeopardizing the younger fan base by not allowing his video footage to be viewed on YouTube. My point was - why not allow what can be purchased via karaoke be viewed, if nothing else. LOL, Simply An-G!
Plenty of people have prince music and video's up on here you just have to look for them. They don't use the bitches name or song name at the start because the filters will pick it up. Use a few letters or something to throw the filters off.
I guess it sounds plausible that Prince is not doing this but he has a history of screwing his fans. I have never heard of any other artist having his sound cut off of You Tube. It's crazy. I just went down memory lane a few months ago and had a chance to check out some of the old videos I grew up with
I've been following Prince, buying his music and going to his concerts for 30 fucking years. He's made a LOT of money off of me. I'm tired of this dumb little nazi shit. I just wanted to see a video. I'm done. No more.
It makes me want to illegally download everything he has. ever done..........
stop dissin prince, he had a falling out with the record company waner bros. and i think he lost so the company took the rights to the song. so thats y we can't hear the sound don't blame prine blame waner bros.
Boycott Prince!!! Don't tolerate this unacceptable censorship. Don't buy his music and eventually he'll realize that he's nothing without the support of his fans.
Feakin' boo. I've been dying to hear the full version of this song rather than the severely shortened edit the radio stations play these days. So much for memory lane on YouTube tonight. (:oP
huahaha..i'm a huge prince fan my self (was?)..i'm just saying, a small band from no where covering When Doves Cry is not a crime!i think him or his legal people is totally fucked up..
very good my friend!
