Talking to The Mirror, Prince said: “The internet is completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it.”
So he will release his new album only on CD.
His new album is his 27th release and may be distributed via Warner Brothers in the US – but there will be no downloads available in the world.
I'm not sure if he realizes it, but 30 minutes after a geek gets the CD home, he will rip it, upload the MP3's to the internet, and within an hour someone, somewhere will be listening to an illegally downloaded copy. You can't stop the internet. You either join it or get used by it.
