MySpace exploits musicians, says Bragg
By Anthony Barnes, Arts and Media Correspondent
Published: 11 June 2006
Billy Bragg has taken on Rupert Murdoch's MySpace.com website in a dispute about artists' rights, after he claimed it was exploiting musicians.
The singer, whose hits include "Sexuality" and "Levi Stubbs' Tears", has removed all his music from the online community - which is credited with making chart-topping band Arctic Monkeys a success - because he claims the small-print gives the site too much power over his work.
MySpace has agreed to revamp the rules to avoid confusion over a clause which says artists grant the site a "royalty-free, worldwide licence ... to use, copy, modify ... and distribute" any content. Thousands of bands have posted material on to MySpace, which Mr Murdoch's News Corp bought for £300m last year.
Bragg told The Independent on Sunday: "There are four words I never like to see together - 'royalty free worldwide licence'. The alarm bells start ringing.
"The rights you are giving to MySpace are above and beyond anything you would give to a record company ... You would never go to talk to a record company without a lawyer but there are lots of people on MySpace without one."

I've been speaking with a lawyer relative about this. Myspace says their procedure is really to protect the artist from third party infringement. If you believe them, okay. If you don't, is suspicion alone a sound basis for pulling your songs?0 -

My personal favorite song is a tie between "American Dream" and "Little Dude Behind the Counter in a Video Shop in a Small Town". So check 'em out and give me a link to check out your stuff.
Stay cool
Rock on,

I live in Laval, I'm looking for some musicians to make a band. Drum, bass and guitar are needed. More songs with voices can be sent on demand.

I like it. Just straight up rock in your face. The guitars sound good. Very raw and warm. No AIC or STP influence? I see you have Kevin Martin listed, but no Candlebox? I'm just jerkin your chain."I had a false belief I thought I came here to stay... we're all just visiting."0 -

my band and I don't have a myspace profile, nor will we.

Here's our myspace page. If there are any local (within a state or two) bands that dig what we're doing, we're always up for a road trip and gig-swapping. We've got some demo stuff on our myspace, but our real page has more stuff about our most recent album.
