Steve Albini Slams Prince In Keynote Address

11/19/2014
. (Radio.com) Steve Albini, famed audio engineer and Shellac frontman, has expressed his dislike for Prince. While serving as the keynote speaker at Melbourne's Arts Centre and discussing the "absurdities" of intellectual property rights, Albini used Prince as an example to highlight all that's wrong with the current system.

If a father's first dance with the bride, for example, or a student video soundtracked by someone else's music was uploaded to YouTube, that would be in violation of intellectual property rights, Albini explained.

"If your little daughter does a kooky dance to a Prince song don't bother putting it on YouTube for her grandparents to see," he said, according to The Guardian, "or a purple dwarf in a**less chaps will put an injunction on you. Did I offend the little guy? F**k it. His music is poison." Read more here.
