*sigh*
Prince is on another war against youtube again! This is nothing new isn’t it? Videos of Prince covering Radiohead’s hit song of “Creep” at this year’s Coachella is being removed from youtube by the request of the Purple One himself. *ahem* HELLO, PRINCE! YOU DID NOT WRITE THE SONG!!!!
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is calling out on Prince trying to remind him that “Creep” is Radiohead’s song, not Prince’s. And Thom Yorke is exactly right, Radiohead wrote the song “Creep”, they own the copyright. So if Radiohead wants the Prince version up on youtube, it should stay up.

I’m siding with Radiohead all the way. I used to respect Prince but now I fuckin’ can’t stand the guy anymore. Prince is an egomaniac and a control freak. The dude only cares about himself and the money and fame he makes with the music. He could care less about his fans or Radiohead fans.
Radiohead owns the copyright to “Creep”. When performing live shows, famous and unsigned artists have the right to cover any song they please, but if they release a cover song on an album or video, bands would of course need the original artist permission.
Prince is a fucking hypocrite for whining about his fans using his work without his copyright permission when he should look at Radiohead’s work with youtube. Fuck Prince and his music.
I give the former Prince fans credit for making Prince Fans United and fighting back at this asshole. Kudos to Thom for speaking out about this! Boycott Prince’s music career already!
