My playlist was deleted earlier this week and I was not told why. Now I recieved this message tonight.



Widget From Your Profile Has Been Deleted.
Body:
Your Project Playlist widget has been removed from your profile in response to copyright complaints. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but it is absolutely imperative that MySpace respect the rights of copyright owners, artists and record labels.

Isn't Online Music Free?

No, MySpace, Rhapsody, Napster, Imeem, Yahoo Music, Pandora, Last.FM all pay fees to the artist and record labels for the rights for you to play their music online. It may seem free to you, but if it's legal, someone is probably paying for you to hear the music.

Don't I Have the Right to Listen to Songs I Purchased on Amazon, MySpace, iTunes or on CD in My Project Playlist Player?

No, buying the album or song does not give you the right to put the songs in your Project Playlist Player, or upload them to MySpace, or upload them to any file sharing service.

When will I be able to use a Project Playlist music player on MySpace again?

As soon as their legal situation is settled, and the artists are getting paid, MySpace will consider re-enabling the embedding of Project Playlist music players.

Where Do I Get Legal Playlists for My Profile?

Imeem, Last.FM, iLike, and MySpace Music are all good options.

Thanks for your understanding,
MySpace

apparently myspace does allow playlists

and they were even polite enough to offer you a few suggestions

maybe hooksaw has a point...

yeah i've seen playlists on certain venues profiles

idk if they contacted labels to get the rights to have them but i doubt it.

Yeah I received the same message. I just took it out, and replaced it...then it worked fine.

12/24/2008 1:22:04 AM

^I tried that and it still didn't work. Oh well, no big deal.

12/24/2008 1:22:49 AM

yeah i would assume a few sites that had the plugin scripts got hit with copyright stuff then they made those specific users take them down

^^ Sucks...but yeah, I have two playlists, and I switched them, and one doesn't work. The one I have up now does. So yeah it's weird.
