I am no expert per se, but what I hear is that Prince owns the rights to all of his music since Emancipation. Before that warner bros records owns it except with every passing year Prince is regaining ownership of is WB catalog.
To get permission from Prince to use his music might be very tough proposition. Prince is very protective of his music and videos being used. I myself was busted by Prince's lawyers 2006 by playing Prince music and videos on my web site. Now more recently Prince was using Universal music group to chase down violators but do they have a right to grant permission? Who knows. Your best bet is trying to contact someone at Paisley Park, but I don't think keeps a regular staff there unless he is in town and currently Prince is finishing up his Canadian tour.
So my guess for your request, and please don't shoot the messenger if I am wrong, is to go to http://www.drfunkenberry.com scroll down to the bottom of the first page and send your request to dr funkenberry via contact us section. Why you ask? Prince's camp passes news for Prince through that blog site. So "someone" there has a connection to the Prince camp. So that's my best educated guess.
Sincerely,
