Prince says he won’t sell his songs on Internet
July 6th, 2010 - 6:19 pm ICT by ANILondon, July 6 (ANI): Pop superstar Prince has admitted that he will not sell his songs on the Internet, insisting web-based outlets will soon vanish because they are no longer ‘hip.’
‘The Purple Rain’ singer sued video sharing website YouTube as well as eBay in 2007 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.”
“The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else,” the Daily Star quoted Prince as saying.
“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 At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated,” he added. (ANI)
