I thought all this shit was settled in 1984 under the Betamax ruling.

The legal battle brewing between Universal Music and MySpace could shape the broader commercial relationship between traditional media companies and a new generation of internet start-ups that rely on them for content.

Last month Universal accused MySpace of infringing its copyrights by allowing its customers to post music videos from artists such as Jay-Z on the site without permission.

The lawsuit followed similar claims by Universal a few weeks earlier against two other sites that feature user-generated content, Bolt.com and Grouper.com.

Universal should crawl under a fucking rock and die a slow and horrible death.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Ohh come now, did you expect companies like Universal not to do this? This is always how these media companies will act. I guess they don't realize that this actually helps promote their garbage to people.

Well it certainly seems like the bigger the company the more likely they are to do something dumb. Just as a case in point, Sony seems to have made every error imaginable concerning it's console. I wonder if there argument will actually stand up in court?
