I feel so sorry for him! It is so hard to be famous and rich! Here I am, disabled, barely making it, and I couldn't even afford to hire somebody to watch for copyright infringement! I am so lucky! Oh my! Hand wringing! He should grow up and stop worrying about people stealing from him. He should be happy he has something worthy of stealing. OMG! I feel so sorry for him!

Klotzman and the recording company owned the rights to the name "Prince" for a specified period. Rather than enrich them further, he continued working under the name "The Artist" until the contract ran out and he then took his own name back. It's a sad story, not a funny one and now he's experiencing this copyright infringement. Not a bit funny, for such a talented professional to have to endure all of that.
