Prince Files Law-Suit Against EBay and You Tube for Piracy Infringement

The eclectic super star Prince is taking on a personal endeavor to stop all unauthorized downloads and anything that associates with his person. Prince will sue on the just measures that any of his music and videos are a part of copyright infringement. The artist sole intention is made clear, to take back control of his rights as an artist. You Tube claims that it cannot control which users are downloading what material-also stating-that it has no control over what the users are posting from their site.

There is a an open gap that precedes what many artist have been fighting for, knowing well that You Tube has the capability to filter out all pornography and also can weed out pedophile material. Whichever person that has the knowledge to download music is not ignorant of the fact of unrestricted use; this has been going on since the inception and explosion of web browsing.

In his innate knowledge of the music industry-Prince is well aware that 50 to 75% of unauthorized music and video downloads are the bread and butter of the search engines that dictate the success of their businesses.

There has been no present response from You Tube on or after the abundant e-mails that have bombarded its press room.

Prince will also make an attempt to end all access to his work from the major on-line auctioneer Pirate Bay and eBay. There have been many other artist and Hollywood insiders note that various types of piracy have been going on for some time.

There have been an increasing and overwhelming concern in the music industry about the growing number of people whom access the web for music file sharing, video web site and mobile phone downloads. Trying to enforce copyright infringement due to the illegal use of downloading has become a daunting task to enforce in this new age of technology.

There is an ultimate downfall in the Government-state by state attempt to enforce against music and video piracy. Many of the new pop culture musicians actually encourage people to illegally download a song, this may add to the artist gaining more exposure and sales for their album.

Prince may have an ascending battle in his own attempt to gain control and legitimize the legalization to outlaw all forms of piracy. This indeed will be a historic move for the multi-gifted artist, the legal proceedings will be a battle to also may draw in other major players in the music industry.

Web Sheriff is a British based company, they have been hired to help inside coordinate the effort to gain control in excess of the situation at hand. John Giacobbi is the managing director of Web Sheriff; there have been at least 2000 of Prince's videos removed from You Tube data base.

On all accounts, even if all of Prince videos are removed from the data base of You Tube there will not be any reassurance to facilitate another user by some point in time will mesh hundred's of Prince videos or songs back into the forefront of You Tube.

The legality of these issues are just beginning, the due process will be a time-consuming and tiresome, process. The record industry may come to applaud Prince's effort and courage to normalize a new industry for everyone to enjoy.

Prince non supports have been few in his music career-he may comprise new adversaries and also establish new found friendships in his absolute quest. Prince fight is for equality, it is for all artist to retain ownership of their work, wherein artist may receive the royalties they deserve.
