A Revamped Myspace Site Faces a Problem With Rights; New York Times, 1/20/13
Ben Sisario, New York Times; A Revamped Myspace Site Faces a Problem With Rights:
"The new Myspace, which like the old MySpace lets people listen to huge numbers of songs free, has won early praise for its sleek design. But while it has said its intention is to help artists, it may already have a problem with some of the independent record labels that supply much of its content.
Although Myspace boasts the biggest library in digital music — more than 50 million songs, it says — a group representing thousands of small labels says the service is using its members’ music without permission."
