Or was he “symbol man” during one of these utterances? From wikipedia:
“If you give away an idea, you still own that idea. In fact, giving it away strengthens it.” — Prince
But wait:
On September 14, 2007, Prince announced that he was going to sue YouTube and eBay because they “are clearly able [to] filter porn and pedophile material but appear to choose not to filter out the unauthorized music and film content which is core to their business success.”

Update: as my friend Dan Coleman says: “One could probably assemble a number of these kinds of contradictions from famous people. I know Bezos has one about books where he changed from defending re-selling books through Amazon to enforcing DRM on the Kindle. Steve Jobs made an unfortunate 180 on idea sharing and stealing, too.”
