Prince compares Web piracy to 'carjacking'
Found on CNet News on Sunday, 26 June 2011
Prince claims he is sitting atop a treasure trove of unreleased songs and has no intention of offering them to the public while Web piracy goes unchecked.
"Nobody's making money now except phone companies, Apple and Google...It's like the gold rush out there. Or a carjacking. There's no boundaries."
Every time Prince opens his mouth about the Web he reinforces the stereotype of a spoiled, out-of-touch pop star. For instance, in the Guardian interview he said that analog music is superior to digital because "it affects a different place in your brain" and that when you play back digital songs "you can't feel anything."
"It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt". Seriously, Prince, or Symbol or whatever is his name now should just shut up since he obviously has no idea what he's talking about. Somebody should tell him that CD's are a digital medium; maybe he will only release his music on vinyl and MC tapes. Also, I hope world and dog will share music even more now to stop his songs from being released. Even Vanilla Ice made better music.
