First it was Elton John with his cockamamie suggestion the Internet be shut down. Now, the likewise foppish Prince is threatening to sue YouTube, eBay and the Pirate Bay because he wants to “reclaim the internet.”
As a means of explaining away the full fruition of his Napoleon complex, Prince is offering this priceless gem: “We have to build a 21st century model for the entertainment industry.” It’s true, the entertainment industry does, but Prince is using the same tactics that got the major labels in so much trouble. “Sue everyone” still isn’t a visionary business model for the 21st century.
Prince needs to go back to masturbating his custom-made guitar and leave the heavyweight thinking to a radical and pioneering artist like The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
