Re: Weird Al's MySpace page

Your answer is at the bottom of the Forbes piece:

"In September, MySpace unveiled plans for a new online music store with Snocap that will enable musicians and record labels to sell their music on MySpace. The store will allow MySpace to provide its members with a greatly expanded inventory of fresh music content without running into legal headaches over copyrights."

Translation: They're ready to charge for that content so it's time to restrict the free, uncontrolled distribution.

News Corp owns this thing. Is anyone really that surprised?

No not really. Anyone with some common sense would see being sued buy the RIAA and MPAA isn't such a wonderful thing regardless of political slant.
