"The Internet's completely over,” Prince told British tabloid publication, The Mirror, in his first newspaper interview in 10years. “I don't see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyoneelse. They won't pay me an advance for it and then they get angry whenthey can't get it.”
Prince is currently set to release his latest album, “20Ten,” for free through various European print media, including the Daily Mirrorand its Scottish affiliate, the Daily Record. Fans can snag their copythis Saturday via the different press outlets, but you they certainlywon’t find any of the new material online.
Prince has banned both YouTube and iTunes from using his music, calling the web obsolete.
“The Internet's like MTV,” he told the mirror. “At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers anddigital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers andthat can't be good for you.".
Plans for a “20Ten” in the States haven’t been announced. What do you think, is Prince on the verge smart new alternative for releasingalbums or does his approach seem misguided?
