Prince in Lawsuit over Online Clips

The ever enigmatic Prince is suing YouTube. According to wikipedia YouTube policy does not give permission for anyone to upload content not permitted by United States copyright law, but has no system in place to check for illegal content. It will be interesting to see how this case plays out since past cases have resulted both for and against online video-sharing sites.


Pop star Prince is taking on YouTube over unauthorised use of his music.

The singer is launching legal action in a bid to "reclaim his art on the internet". He wants to ban any unauthorised video clips taken of his performances.

He is believed to be the first major artist to do battle with the online giant.
