MySpace Gone Wrong

According to Techcrunch, MySpace will announce today that they’re teaming up with Gracenote to help detect and block copyrighted music from being posted on member pages. Sounds like a good idea?

Well, there are three million bands on MySpace. I’d guess that most of them hold the copyright to their songs. What happens now? Do the bands lose the ability to post their own material? Or will they be able to ‘claim’ songs as their own, after no-doubt following a protracted verification procedure? Either way, watch MySpace utilisation fall.

    I hope that all people who wish to sign up for myspace are aware that if you use your real e-mail address, then you are giving any one who has access to myspace has access to all of your personal information.But the only thing that sucks is that you have to use a real e-mail address to send e-mails on myspace…...

    We hope that maybe if Tom sees this he can change that….(Tom is the person who created myspace for those people who didn’t know)
