Or, there's a .tor going around with his more or less complete discography in mp3 format at 320 kps. It's about 8 GB.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

To me, that feels like stealing from the dead.

I know what you mean. His poor family would probably starve.

To me, that feels like stealing from the dead.

Especially considering his stance (activism) on intellectual property.

That was his worst aspect;
On one end of the spectrum was Prince and Lars Ulrich;

On the other end of the spectrum was the Grateful Dead:
"Wanna record our show?
Cool! Here is a designated place for you tapers;
Feel free to share it, as long as you aren't making money on it."

Their wealth makes stealing from them ok?

No, rich or poor it's the same. But also alive or dead it's the same.

Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

I stopped by his house the other day and it was rather humbling to see the fence decked out in purple tributes. Also slightly annoying. The amount of money dumped into flowers and purple balloons and other things that he would have much rather seen that money spent on... like the hungry or the needy.

Someone will have to clean that stuff up sometime. Planting flowers along the fence would have been a much better idea.

Minnesota is 100% full on in mourning over Prince. We joke and meme... which is all in good fun and is never "too soon". One things was 100%. He loved art.

I did a remix of "doves cry" and was told by his sax player that he appreciated the remix. Was never sued, or asked to take it down. I never did it for money. I just love music and art. SO I have to believe he looked at the motives behind your deeds before making a decision.

anyway, I didn't KNOW him.... just wanted to post my 2 cents that he is gone before being understood or really appreciated for what he did. First Ave. is hands down THE best place for live music in Mn.

Rest in peace sir.

Well, this sucks; Apparently Prince died of a fentanyl overdose, but didn't even know that was what he was taking. It was labeled as if it was generic Vicodin.
