And Finally
“The internet is over”, says Prince
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 6 July 2010
Right, well there you have it, folks. The last ever edition of CMU Daily. We were going to carry on, but then Prince revealed that the internet is “completely over”, which makes publishing online pretty pointless, I think you’ll agree. It’s also the reason why Prince will never allow his music to be sold online.
Speaking to The Mirror, who are, of course, giving away his new album away for free with this Saturday’s edition of the paper, Prince said: “The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it. The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you”.
With the internet now over, we were thinking of taking CMU back into print. But then we keep reading that print media is dead too. So, as a result, we’re now developing a new incarnation of CMU where members of our team will come to your office and tell you all the latest news.
