If only they were talking about his music…
By: samnation on: Jul 7,2010 In: MusicRead the original article here. Prince’s Nonsense If only they were talking about his music. I haven’t seen an artist this out of touch since Metallica sued Napster.

Regardless of how you feel about it, there is no question that BitTorrent/P2P filesharing is not going anywhere anytime soon.
