The artist
formerly known as symbol, Prince is suing YouTube and other major Web sites
for unauthorized use of his music in a bid to "reclaim his art on the
Internet".
In a statement Prince said that YouTube and others could
filter porn and pedophile material but appear to choose not to filter out
the unauthorized music and film content which is core to their business
success.
Prince also plans legal action against online auctioneer eBay
and Pirate Bay.
