Prince covered Radiohead's hit "Creep" at Coachella, and when videos of the song went up around the web, he ordered them to be taken down.
But when Radiohead found out, they said (and this is a paraphrase): "F*ck that. It's our song. Put the videos back up." Now there's a big old feud.
Here's one video that hasn't been taken down yet.
Who do you agree with? Prince or Radiohead?

I chose Radiohead's side because I think Prince is a giant tool.
1Or rather a giant tool trapped inside a tiny man.
2I'm with Radiohead on this one. I just like their stance on internet music in general. Their "pay what you want" thingamajig with In Rainbows was brilliant. But they're more about getting the music out there than just making bank.
3I'm siding with Radiohead on this one.

4I love Prince. Have always loved Prince. I don't care what happens to the videos...he's endlessly entertaining.
5Totally with Radiohead.
6I'm with Radiohead on this.
7I voted Radiohead. Although, I don't know the legalities of something like this. I think it's smart of Radiohead to want the video to be shown.
8I love Radiohead's attitude, but I gotta side with Prince on this. The video is of him.
9Prince always complains when people cover his songs and says people should write their own music, yet he shot back at the Foo Fighters and did one of their songs at the Superbowl and now he does this. He's a hypocrite, and I hope Radiohead wins.
10I don't know. I hate Prince, but I have to agree with him. If it was the other way around, he wanted them up and Radiohead wanted it down, I'd agree with Radiohead.
11Radiohead, tots def.
12I f*cking LOVE Prince but I voted with Radiohead....because I want to see the vids
Plus, he
tends to be a little b*tch about these things.
13I'm siding with Radiohead. I love Prince's music, but he is such a douche that he won't let his music videos be on YouTube or allow Foo Fighters to release their version of "Darling Nikki" as a single.
14Gosh, I don't really know, I see both sides.

He's such a douchebag it's hard to see his side. Radiohead has a huge point, here. Besides, I will NEVER understand why some artists get all whiny about their stuff up on YouTube. The concert already happened. You will not lose any ticket sales if someone sees your performance after the fact. You might actually gain some for the next performance.
16Prince, obviously.
17radiohead > prince.
18What a stupid fued. Radiohead is better than this and Prince has been around to long to pull this. Sigh.
19I love prince..well mostly just purple rain and a few other songs from that era but the video is no longer available so I couldn't see it.
