Since a lot of you have accounts on MySpace, you may want to pay attention to this. You may have heard that News Corp, Inc. (i.e. Rupert Murdoch of Fox News fame) is planning on buying MySpace.com and it's parent company. After that story broke, something else came to light: anything you put on their servers they own: "By posting Content on any public area of MySpace.com, you automatically grant as well as represent and warrant that you have the right to grant to MySpace.com, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute such information and content to MySpace.com and that MySpace.com has the right to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such information and content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing." It's not quite that bad (they recently changed their Terms of Use page), but I've got the full story at: http://www.ezrpm.com/about/9/ Near the end of the article are links to some alternatives to MySpace, if your policital leanings urge you to distance yourself and your creative output away from the 'evil' Mr. Murdoch. I thought you might like to know. -- - xenlab - http://www.ezrpm.com/ - http://www.xnlb.com/
