It's unfortunate

But the best conversations in business is on paper.

He had years to seize control over that name while prince was here. This is the unfortunate circumstances for not handling business. Now he wants to gain public sympathy to help him in business. Business don't care about morality, only what's legally wrong or right.

My guess is prince estate asked him for money for the right to perform under that name and he refused so they ceased him from using it.

Exactly. Contracts don’t care about morals

Y’all are exactly right. But prince estate never has to worry about going broke. What’s the point of this?

 

[George's Dilemma]

I was curious who owned Prince's estate. Apparently, it's a couple of his siblings...oh and a Primary Wave music company owned by Lawrence Mestel. Fukkin Jews got everything on lock.

Well, years back Prince wouldn't let them use the name The Time, so they had to release their record as The Original 7. Morris should have gotten that straightened out then. I hope it works out for him though.
