"Prince: 'The Internet is over' "

Music superstar Prince is adamant he will never sell his songs on the
Internet, insisting Web-based outlets will soon disappear because they
are no longer "hip."

The "Purple Rain" hitmaker has long battled to keep his music offline
-- in 2007 he sued YouTube.com and eBay.com claiming they "are clearly
able (to) filter porn and pedophile material but appear to choose not
to filter out the unauthorized music and film content, which is core
to their business success."

Prince has also moved to ban fansites using images and anything linked
to his likeness, while a home video of a child dancing to one of his
songs on YouTube was pulled down in 2007 after the star's Universal
Music Publishing claimed the recording infringed copyright.

The artist is still refusing to allow Web sites to sell his music and
he's adamant fans will soon move on from the Internet.

He says, "The Internet's completely over. I don't see why I should
give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. 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became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are
no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can't be good
for you."

Prince needs to get a life. If he think the Internet's over, he's
wrong. Just another celebrity shooting off his big mouth.

The artist formerly known a 'Glyph' is no longer very hip either.
