At least, Prince seems to think it is.

Quote
Pop superstar Prince is adamant he will never sell his songs on the internet, insisting web-based outlets will soon disappear because they are no longer "hip".

The Purple Rain hitmaker has long battled to keep his music offline - in 2007 he sued video sharing website YouTube.com as well as eBay.com claiming they "are clearly able (to) filter porn and paedophile material but appear to choose not to filter out the unauthorised music and film content which is core to their business success."

Prince has also moved to ban fansites using images and anything linked to his likeness, while a home video of a child dancing to one of his songs on YouTube was pulled down in 2007 after the star's Universal Music Publishing claimed the recording infringed copyright.

The artist is still refusing to allow websites to sell his music and he's adamant fans will soon move on from the internet.

He says, "The internet's completely over. I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can't get it.

"The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good for you."

The only reason MTV isn't hip is because it got raped up the ass with reality teenage bullshit.

I wouldn't consider that a infinite since you have to make your opponent bounce of the wall and if you do it on the wrong side of the stage the stage interaction would activate.

Listen. If prince says it is so, then it is so.

The first girl I ever fucked was to a Prince song and most likely because of that song.

In other words, Prince is god.

Please forgive them prince, for they do not know what they do.

Oh and, welcome back Oz and change that fucking avatar.

The Prince song cancels out your having sex with the girl, and makes you a blazing homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

dear mr.prince king duke emperor , I don't know who you are or what kind of songs you made but the internet have many many talented people for example the singers from nicodouga chorus , the youtube sensations and others who are unlike you who sells music these people share them and they don't profit from anything. the internet won't die not because it is cheap but because people who have talent can share their works and songs for free like mugen.

long live teh internet!

Who the fuck is Prince anyway?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT02UpPVI98

The first guy barely uses his pinky at all, that's not very good.
The second guy, he could do that on ONE guitar, using two guitars are just for show.

if Prince > that guy on youtube
then Tsukasa will google him

Anjel > that guy on youtube
Anjel wants to be googled by Tsukasa
