    Now…where have I seen wording like that before?! It’s amazing that people only just caught on to this. I seem to recall Toni and I putting some words up a bit like that on a little playlist sharing site we once ran! Seemed like a good idea at the time … but then we weren’t Rupert Murdoch – and last time I checked we still weren’t

  6. this is the case with almost every thing you are getting free on interent not just with myspace

  7. This has to be the most rediculous thing MySpace has ever done. Probably due to liability reasons… then again, why would MySpace want to be liable for everything users upload.
