MySpace Is Setting Up a Spy Program
From p2pnet.net:
Rupert Murdoch’s MySpace is to set up a spy program to keep a check on user pages.
In partnership with Gracenote, which in December last year said it had acquired Philips’ audio identification and fingerprinting technology, Myspace hopes it’ll now be able to “detect and block copyrighted music from being posted on MySpace member pages,” says TechCrunch.
MySpace also says it plans to be, “more proactive about copyright enforcement,” says the story, pointing out:
“Copyrighted material, particularly music, is one of the key drivers of the success of social networks. Over 3 million bands now have pages at MySpace - it is now a defacto requirement for a band to have a MySpace presence. Competitor Bebo recently announced that they have over 300,000 bands after just one year.”
