Prince has waged legal war against three of his own fan websites.

The singer’s three largest web communities, Prinfams, Housequake and Prince.org have all received legal notices to remove all “photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince’s likeness.”

Prince’s request include asking the websites to remove fan’s own photographs of Prince inspired tattoos and Prince inspired number plates.

In a statement on their official website, PrinceFansUnited said that the requests are a “violation of the freedom of speech and should not be allowed.”

“Should this not be possible, the fansites are fully prepared to defend their position in the proper court of law, as well as fully prosecute any claims to which they are justly entitled.”

PrinceFansUnited maintain that the content on each of their websites is “within the law.”
