Reuters: Myspace purging copyrighted content from site, music, video

MySpace to block illegal use of copyrighted music

NEW YORK (Reuters) - News Corp.'s MySpace.com on Monday said it had licensed a new technology to stop users from posting unauthorized copyrighted music on the social networking Web site and oust frequent violators of its policy.

The move comes amid pressure from major studios and record labels against popular online sites like MySpace and YouTube, which they accuse of infringing the copyrights of their artists' music and videos.

MySpace, one of the most popular sites on the Internet, licensed technology from privately-held Gracenote allowing it to review music recordings uploaded by community members to their profiles.

The technology compares those filed with Gracenote's database of copyrighted material and can block uploads without proper rights. Terms of the licensing agreement were not disclosed.

3. There won't be much left.

You're right RIAA strikes again, I see their hand all over this. After all they are the people that are trying to claim you can't legally copy your own CDs. Content management, my dying ass.

4. Really!! Can you imagine paying that much for something and then promptly killing it? Either someon...

someone wants to close it down or somebody has a very, very bad business sense.

I'm just wondering if another site equal to You Tube will just pop up?????
