Somebody recently posted on here a URL for a song on Myspace.com. Please NEVER do this again. It appears that since being taken over by Murdoch the hosting agent has re-written the contract terms with unbelievable rights claims. They now claim copyright on EVERYTHING posted, including all text, pictures and music. They also reserve the right to modify re-post and even sell all material they host, without notifying you. This applies even after you take down the material yourself - so presumably they archive everything. In most parts of the world such contract terms can not be made retrospective so presumably anything put on there before the Murdoch takeover is safe...ish. However, do you fancy a legal battle with that organisation?
Can you provide substantiation to this claim? -- Brett McCoy: Programmer by Day, Guitarist by Night http://www.alhazred.com http://www.cassandrasyndrome.com http://www.revelmoon.com
