trolltalk.com's Journal: Prince is at it again ...

El Reg is reporting that Prince is still on the prowl, making the Internet safe from parodies of His Ridiculousness via DMCA takedown notices, now sanitizing the UK, where the DMCA has no legal basis. Guess he didn't like b3ta.com's contest to photoshop him as their "image challenge of the week".

Lawyers acting on behalf of Prince have sent out a flurry of US copyright infringement notifications to individual members of a popular UK website which encourages its community to create satirical images of well-known stars.

A number of users of b3ta.com have been slapped with DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act) notifications after posting images that poke fun at the pint-sized popstar's ongoing crusade to rid

the internet of unauthorised Prince material.

B3ta co-founder Rob Manuel told The Register that he was "surprised Prince's lawyers had bitten".

Someone should tell him that his 15 minutes of fame are long over (To put this into proper perspective, here's what Kevin Smith has to say about the guy)
