I understand the terms... but if ol' Murdoch started ripping off everyone's material,
artists would make noise and the PR would be terrible for him! Imagine a boycott, of all things..
Be careful with myspace
MySpace Is The Trojan Horse Of Internet Censorship
Media elite's last gasp effort to save crumbling empire
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | March 16 2006
MySpace isn't cool, it isn't hip and it isn't trendy. It represents a cyber trojan horse and the media elite's last gasp effort to reclaim control of the Internet and sink it with a stranglehold of regulation, control and censorship.
Since Rupert Murdoch's $580 Million acquisition of MySpace in July 2005, it has come from total obscurity to now being the 8th most visited website in the world, receiving half as many page hits as Google, despite the fact that on first appearance it looks like a 5-year-old's picture scrap and scribble book.
MySpace is the new mobile phone. If you don't have a MySpace account then you belong to some kind of culturally shunned underclass.
What most of the trendy wendy's remain blissfully unaware of is the fact that MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's battle axe for shaping a future Internet environment whereby electronic dissent, whether it be against corporations or government, will not tolerated and freedom of e-speech will cease to exist.
MySpace has been caught shutting down blogs critical of itself and other Murdoch owned companies. They even had the audacity to censor links to completely different websites when clicking through for MySpace. When 600 MySpace users complained, MySpace deleted the blog forum that the complaints were posted on. Taking their inspiration from Communist China, MySpace regularly uses blanket censorship to block out words like 'God'.
Earlier this week Rupert Murdoch sounded the death knell for conventional forms of media in stating that the media elite were losing their monopoly to the rapid and free spread of new communication technologies. Murdoch stressed the need to regain control of these outlets in order to prevent the establishment media empire from crumbling.
MySpace is Rupert Murdoch's trojan horse for destroying free speech on the Internet. It is a foundational keystone of the first wave of the state's backlash to the damage that a free and open Internet has done to their organs of propaganda. By firstly making it cool, trendy and culturally elite for millions to flock to establishment controlled Internet backbones like MySpace, Murdoch is preparing the groundwork for the day when it will stop being voluntary and become mandatory to use government and corporate monopoly controlled Internet hubs.
The end game is a system similar to or worse than China, whereby no websites even mildly critical of the government will be authorized.
The Pentagon admitted that they would engage in psychological warfare and cyber attacks on 'enemy' Internet websites in an attempt to shut them down. The fact that the NSA surveillance program spied on 5,000 Americans tells us that the enemy is the alternative media and that it will be targeted for elimination. Google has been ordered to turn over information about its users by a judge to the US government.
The second wave of destroying freedom of speech online will simply attempt to price people out of using the conventional Internet and force people over to Internet 2, a state regulated hub where permission will need to be obtained directly from an FCC or government bureau to set up a website.
The original Internet will then be turned into a mass surveillance database and marketing tool. The Nation magazine reported, "Verizon, Comcast, Bell South and other communications giants are developing strategies that would track and store information on our every move in cyberspace in a vast data-collection and marketing system, the scope of which could rival the National Security Agency. According to white papers now being circulated in the cable, telephone and telecommunications industries, those with the deepest pockets--corporations, special-interest groups and major advertisers--would get preferred treatment. Content from these providers would have first priority on our computer and television screens, while information seen as undesirable, such as peer-to-peer communications, could be relegated to a slow lane or simply shut out."
The original Internet will deliberately be subject to crash upon crash until it becomes a useless carcass of overpriced trash and its reputation will be defiled by the TV and media barons cashing in on the perfectly streamlined Internet 2, the free for all network that just requires you to thumbscan in order to log on! Those with a security grading below yellow on their national ID card will unfortunately be refused access. Websites that carry hate speech (ones that talk about government corruption) will be censored for the betterment of society.
For the aspiring dictator, the Internet is a dangerous tool that has been seized by the enemy. We have come a long way since 1969, when the ARPANET was created solely for US government use. The Internet is freedom's best friend and the bane of control freaks. Its eradication is one of the short term goals of those that seek to centralize power and subjugate the world under a global surveillance panopticon prison.
Rupert Murdoch's MySpace and its ceaseless promotion by the establishment media as the best thing since sliced bread is part of this movement. In saying all this we do encourage everyone to set up a MySpace account, but only if you're going to use it to bash MySpace, Rupert Murdoch and copy and paste this article right at the top of the page! See how long it is before your account is terminated.

What a ridiculous conspiracy theory...bracket wrote:MySpace Is The Trojan Horse Of Internet Censorship
Media elite's last gasp effort to save crumbling empire
It's hardly surprising that a site that makes a huge amount of money will delete comments that portray it in a negative manner - it's Myspace's right to do that. If someone posted a comment calling you a prick on your blog, you'd delete it too. I wonder if the guy who write that article could explain in a bit more detail how he can make the leap from descriping the success of Myspace to calling out the government in its attempt to regulate the entire internet and "force" us to use regulated internet hubs? It's just total nonsense.
Never thought I'd defend myspace against anyone, but that article is just ridiculous. It's speculation portrayed as fact
right it really doesnt look like a big deal at all. They lose their license to your Content as soon as you remove it from their site.
so if your tune really does end up on an advertisement somewhere, you can take down your myspace profile wait for it to air again and then take an out of court settlement.
and yes, myspace <i>is</i> for getting girls.

nail on head right there. basically what sek said. the bits about cropping and editing your tracks is to do with their encoding. so if you upload a high quality track they are able to shrink it down / change the bitrate or whatever to make better use of their bandwidth.sek [espionage] wrote:after reading over the clause a bit more.. it does look to be true.
however I strongly feel that it's mainly there to cover there own asses.
artist uploads a song without that clause and they could sue the pants off fox everytime someone listened to the clip on their page (myspace broadcasting it)
the other bits about using your tracks mean that myspace is able to be viewed anywhere without you suing them cos you didn't want your stuff played in america/on the moon/whatever.
and all that about myspace taking over your brainwaves is rubbish (for now anyway). murdoch didn't know really what it was when he bought it and had to have a load of IT bods show him what it was for/how he could use the database. his big plan is to use it to advertise sky tv and that's about it for now.
thanks 7 below, so now I can't change my page name from this type of thing to a page with my name in it7 below wrote:You need to have a music myspace page for starters - then you can simply upload an mp3 copy of your tune on the profile page under manage songs.pollywog wrote:can somebody please tell me how to make a sort of dubsteppy tune i did on fruityloops play on my myspace page ?

dude... Tom sold Myspace.com to the same cocksmoker that owns Fox News Network... multi-billionaire Ruppert Murdoch. He's a totally ruthless, election fixing bastard... worst part, is that he owns about 65% of the media market. Everything you see/hear/read/eat/touch/think is owned by one of 6 people. None of which is yourself.seckle wrote:i highly doubt that major record labels like universal corp. would allow any of their artists to use a site like myspace without looking into the legalities. thats why big labels have legal dept's. tom's a smart guy, not an idiot. do you realise how many lawsuits he'd be facing if he headed down the content hijack route? bottom line is...it's free bandwidth .
That's some scary shit. Thank God that Dubstep isn't "commercially viable in a real world setting"
I would be glad to host any files(tracks, not mixes) anyone needs hosted on my server. I'm sure I can work out some method for streaming them, instead of allowing DL of them or something.

Alex Jones is a nutcase, but regarding 9/11 he's right on point.
Different conversation totally, though
As regards conspiracy theories, it's worth reading Jon Ronson's book "Them" - pretty much covers everybody from white supremacists, islamic fundamentalists, conspiracy theorist, kkk - pretty brave considering he's jewish and probably weighs all of 7 stone. His conclusion was that the idea of secret governments, odd cults and paranoid fantasies gives people a reason why they feel fucked over, when in reality it makes more sense to just follow the money, as that's probably a far clearer indicator of who's doing what and why.
On a slightly different note, people with g/googlemail accounts might want a look at this - seems that google will not only trace your websurfing habits, but will also retain these on their servers. This is done so that they can advertise more effectively to you, but should google change hands at any point that info then transfers to the new owners. Of course as the old saying goes "if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide", but thought you might like to know - people's idea of wrong do differ wildly.
