[[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) also toured heavily in 1994-5 (mostly in one-off shows, but also on [[The Ultimate Live Experience]]), focusing heavily on playing tracks from the album. Between the promotional singles and [[Prince]]’s live performances of the songs, many fans were very familiar with a lot of the material before the album’s release. At the time of release, however, it seemed that [[Prince]] himself had moved on to other projects, and he didn’t promote the album much upon release. | [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) also toured heavily in 1994-5 (mostly in one-off shows, but also on [[The Ultimate Live Experience]]), focusing heavily on playing tracks from the album.

In 1995, two Italian songwriters, Bruno Bergonzi and Michele Vicino filed a lawsuit against Prince for plagiarism. Bergonzi and Vicino claimed that [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]] borrowed heavily from one of their song called ''Takin’ Me To Paradise'' released by Raynard J. in 1983. Bergonzi and Vicino won their case in 2007. This judgement was confirmed by the Supreme Court of Cassation in Italy in 2015, acknowledging Bergonzi and Vicino as co-authors of [[The Most Beautiful Girl In The World]]. Although this decision is only limited to the Italian territory (where the song is banned for distribution), it impacted the status of [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] in other countries. After [[Prince]]’s passing, his [[The Prince Estate|Estate]] made all his albums available on streaming plateforms and re-released many of them physically (through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records Warner Bros.] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy_Recordings Sony’s Legacy Recordings]), except [[Album: The Gold Experience|The Gold Experience]] because of this legal action. | In 1995, two Italian songwriters, Bruno Bergonzi and Michele Vicino filed a lawsuit against Prince for plagiarism.
