The allegations of Prince targeting fans with lawsuits have been clarified. The purple one is only out to get the pirates. Prince’s UK promoter, AEG has issued a statement reading, “Prince is not suing his fans, is not looking to penalise fans and nor is he looking to or inhibiting freedom of speech in any way. In fact, he is simply looking to provide Prince fans with exclusive music and images entirely free of charge, and bypassing unofficial and unauthorised phoney fan sites that exploit both consumers and artists.”
Though no suits have been filed, a few targets have been named. Specifically, “The Pirate Bay in France and Sweden along with a few of its Israeli-based advertisers.” This is according to Web Sherrif’s president, John Giaccobi.http://www.antimusic.com/news/07/nov/12Prince_Suing_Pirates_Not_Fans.shtml
