Producer Steve Albini has taken a rather amusing potshot at Prince while making a keynote speech at Australian music conference Face the Music.

Albini, who is best known as guitarist for rock band Shellac as well as producer of artists like Nirvana, Pixies and many more, was commenting on the Internet's role in the music industry and how people are effectively infringing copyright by uploading home videos to sites like YouTube that may feature an artist's music.

"If your little daughter does a kooky dance to a Prince song don’t bother putting it on YouTube for her grandparents to see or a purple dwarf in assless chaps will put an injunction on you," he said. "Did I offend the little guy? F*ck it. His music is poison."

Your move, O Purple One...
