Prince runs afoul of recording industry again

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

Prince was one of the first major artists to sell music from his Website. He was an early supporter of peer-to-peer music trading. Now, he's giving away his new album inside a U.K. newspaper before it's officially released. Prince's 10-song album, Planet Earth, will be tucked inside the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

Prince's giveaway has angered music retailers, who say the recording artist is helping to cement the notion that music should be free.

Guest: Eliot Van Buskirk, Listening Post
