He was a genius. He was known in the industry for aggressively protecting his trademark/copyright rights, which is one of the most important methods of preserving his rights, but he was challenged this time.

I took an Intellectual Property class that featured a lawsuit, Lenz v. Universal Music Corporation that went to Fair Use of his work, "Let's Go Crazy," which was played during a Superbowl halftime show. A mother posted the YouTube clip of her son dancing to Prince's song, and she was issued a takedown notice pursuant to the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. It's interesting to Google that case and see how the mother was successful in fighting the Notice.

RIP Prince.

Here's the YouTube Lenz posted of her son dancing to Prince's song:

The background of the title at the top of the category was a perfect Prince purple, instead of the usual royal blue.
