    After learning about the symbol featured on the cover, Prince’s fansite Drfunkenberry reached out to Prince’s camp who stated: “No permission was granted. Sony Entertainment has removed the symbol.”

    Wow! Prince fans have some major pull, huh? <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
  • I didn't know that Prince had exclusive use of that symbol? Did he copyright it? I thought symbols were in the public domain and anyone could use them whenever...

  • Yes he copyrighted it.

    Also see this post as to how I think this was brought to the attention of Prince's camp: <!-- l -->viewtopic.php?f=48&t=15438&start=0<!-- l -->
