I haven't seen a record store in about 20 years.</p>John WallSun, 15 Jul 2007 15:41:49 -0000http://chelpixie.com/2007/07/02/rl-prince-the-mail-and-his-free-release/#comment-2745085<p>Well, sure Prince seemingly cares about his fans. However, this is smary in more ways than caring about fans, in fact he stands to make considerably MORE money by distributing his work this way, like by a staggering amount.</p><p>He gets a lump sum of about 500k USD + a royality percentage on EACH disk sold through the paper. This ammounts to HUGE amounts of money, the paper network is massive, this will far out-reach a record money audience.</p><p>So before we pat him on the back for cutting out the vultures, let's also pat him on the pat for business acumen.</p><p>:)</p>chrishamblyWed, 11 Jul 2007 10:10:31 -0000http://chelpixie.com/2007/07/02/rl-prince-the-mail-and-his-free-release/#comment-2745086<p>Oh the horrors. How will they be able to feed themselves? Instead of picking on the carcasses of musicians like vultures they'll have to actually go out and hunt.</p><p>*chuckles* Thanks for the laugh, Chris.</p>chelpixieTue, 03 Jul 2007 21:15:58 -0000http://chelpixie.com/2007/07/02/rl-prince-the-mail-and-his-free-release/#comment-2745087<p>Brilliant.
