Prince “recently outraged the music establishment by giving away CDs of his Planet Earth album to British fans who purchased last week’s Mail on Sunday newspaper. In light of the giveaway, Sony/BMG refused to distribute the album in Great Britain, provoking outbursts from music retailers who had been cut out of the action. Part of the problem, according to retailers, is that Prince’s move helped solidify a growing perception on the part of consumers that music is free.”
