Apparently he's only charging $10 a ticket for his new live shows: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26045864
Can't see that happening though, and/or touting will be rife.

What a cunt, I'm sorry, but he's no struggling artist, he's not in a desperate situation and piracy isn't affecting his business and the ones doing the filesharing are his biggest fans has has been constantly argued against anti-piracy morons for years.
Anyone who does this and already has millions is simply a greedy fuck.

Excuse me, but we're talking about a Jehovah Witness here asking Jah if he'll bless-it da Coin, as seen around his neck. In the background, another dude is showing Jehovah his Pebble bitcoin wallet watch. Over Prince's left shoulder is Brother Skopedis, hoping he doesn't get ex-communicated for doing jaw exercises in the Kingdom Hall.

Well he hasn't really done anything relevant lately (at least to me) so maybe he thought this would be a good idea for a publicity stunt. I do hope he doesn't get one cent. I think the defendants will be able to use court decisions like this:
An IP Address Does Not Identify a Person, Rules Judge
"Another judge has ruled that you can't identify pirates based on IP addresses."
As far as I'm concerned, he has won my eternal despise - just like Metallica - and I'll be sharing each and every recording by him that I can get my hands on, like I did with Metallica stuff before.

Eh?
Hasn't Prince learned anything from the Metallica / Napster fiasco? Kanye West will be doing this next.

I'm a fan, but he's such a tool. I think he sued Youtube too and now you can't upload any videos with him in it.
