I posted this at HQ:
1. Is Universal's beef only with the superbowl footage? If so, was
removing that sufficient rather than shutting down the forum... or was
the complete shut down a measure to prevent future cease-and-desist
letters? (Odd to me that their issue would only be with the SB footage
and not the rest on here)
2. It does seem that Universal has been very aggressive with
protecting their assets... They have been embroiled in conflicts with
Youtube, Google Video, and Myspace, all while trying to negotiate
revenue pieces from those sites.
3. That being said, I wonder how involved Prince is in this particular
decision. Not saying he's not ultimately responsible, since he did put
Universal in charge of managing his rights and licenses. But I think
this has a lot more to do with Universal than it does with any
personal vendetta Prince has against fansites.
4. All that being said, sorry to see the forum go :(
