Prince Attacks YouTube

Prince has decided to turn his attentions to a ridiculously pointless assault on video sharing and file trading networks, such as YouTube, the Pirate Bay and even EBay.
Obviously annoyed and confused by the sea change in the music industry over the last few years, Prince is determined to try to exert control over his copyright online, a truly impossible challenge.
Over 2,000 of his videos have been removed from YouTube, but no sooner has one video been taken down, than a dozen people reupload it. Prince is part of a dying breed of musicians who are clinging to the old model of record industry control. This is surprising considering he publishes his own music and gave away his last album for free on a Sunday newspaper recently.
Musicians and film-makers need to adopt a new attitude to the music and film industries online, as the rules have changed and both industries are thriving as never before. More music is being created than ever was when record industries exerted monopoly control over the distribution of music. Prince and those like him, stuck in their nostalgia for an era gone by, will eventually realise the error of their ways and embrace the new, better model for sharing and creating music online.
