There is some truth in this however a few things bother me

1. Of all the newspapers he is associating his brand with a cheap tabloid. Under no circumstances would I ever give money to a newspaper like this so he has lost my me already. As there are no other ways of getting this legally - I am only left with the pirating option

2. 'In Rainbows' by Radiohead was profitable for the group (and they have somethings in common with Prince - like an established fan base) using the internet model of 'pay what you want' for the download. This made the band look good and still provided them with a profit.

Prince is doing himself no favours by acting in this way.
