And pointing out the all important T&C to starry-eyed artists who foolishly imagine The Digger is handing out a free lunch can scarcely be described as 'causing chaos', rather the reverse. There's a growing realisation that it's not just a loss leader to forgo performing rights on four tracks slapped up on your MySpace site in the expectation of selling millions of CDs in compensation.

Yet another new clause has just crept in:

a back-up or residual copy of the Content posted by you may remain on the MySpace.com servers after you have removed the Content from the Services, and MySpace.com retains the rights to those copies

Scary, right? Once you're caught, you're caught. Yes, there are what look like enormous initial benefits in being able to access music more easily by subverting MySpace, loopholes that Rupie's shit-hot lawyers are plugging as fast as they can because, whatever Ms Cornish tries to tell you, Murdoch isn't suddenly in business to give you something for nothing but purely for his usual reasons, to rip off anyone he can. Can you really feel comfortable about colluding in this in the certain knowledge that you are acquiescing to the negation of hard-won artists' rights? Only those who thought it OK to cross the Wapping picket line or who hold NewsInt shares could go along with that.
