Re: [Prince-4ever][morrisdaythetime4life] The Original 7ven on Jay Leno - 10/27/11

 

There was a recent article that came out and I emaled it to the groups but, I found this interesting:

On negotiating with Prince to use 'the Time'
"The rumblings were out that we were making a record," Day explained, "and he reached out to us and sent a cease-and-desist letter."
 
Lewis, who handled the negotiations, was more diplomatic: "He has his viewpoint; we have ours. We've been the Time since 1981. I don't understand why there would be any issue with that. I'm not trying to challenge someone for something that they believe they created or owned. I don't understand why it has to get to this point and be this serious. So we'll take the high road."
 
Johnson thinks Prince has changed over the years. "He's not the person that I grew up with since I was 12," the drummer said. "Who has time to be in court fighting about a name you've done had for 30 years? He's a chronic litigator. He has the money to do it; I don't."

Prince owns the rights to the names "the family" and "the time" both groups asked Prince to sign over the rights so they could use the names and Prince said "no".

Prince owns the rights because he created the groups and did most of the writing and producing of all the music the groups generated. He does this to keep on receiving royalty rights to any music sold and also has the right to perform any songs on his tours. Welcome 2 America tour Prince performed "cool", "the bird" and "jungle love" all time songs but he was credited with the writing and producing on the tracks.

Chelsea is all up on Jesse. Didn't even notice the light skinned brothers. LOL!

The Original 7. I don't know, I guess just like FDeluxe (Formerly The Family) their name must also be owned by the Man.
