BILLY BRAGG DIE ZWEITE
Wir berichteten vor einer Weile das Folkmusiker Billy Bragg seine Songs auf MySpace entfernte, nachdem er in den Terms von MySpace entdeckt hatte was MySpace alles mit den Songs (ohne den Künstler zu fragen) anstellen kann.
MySpace reagierte und änderte die Terms, was auch bei Billy Bragg anklang fand: "I am very pleased to see that MySpace have changed their terms of agreement from a declaration of their rights into a declaration of our rights as artists, making it clear that, as creators, we retain ownership of our material. Having been adopted by the biggest social networking site on the block, I hope their recognition of the right of the artist to be sole exploiter of their own material now becomes an industry standard because there is much more at stake here than just the terms and conditions of a website."
