There's some chatter on the Internets about the fact that MySpace (now owned by Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp) doesn't pay royalties for music used on the site. Once an artist posts music on the site, any other user can play it from their own page. In stores on or the radio, a performer would ultimately be entitled to some revenue for that; on MySpace, the fine print on the user agreement means no cash for bands. When Billy Bragg read the agreement closely enough, he pulled his clips.
