I believe this post is about MySpace having a successful enough music offering to be able to block copyright infringing content from their site, and about YouTube adopting a haphazard "poor man's <a href="http://revver.com" rel="nofollow">Revver</a>" stance on video ownership and copyright. The MySpace move seems predictable, but also responsible. They clearly believe that obeying the law and respecting copyright will not hurt their business. YouTube on the other hand, seem fairly confident that simply not accepting copyright infringing material would crush their business post haste. I think this is a fairly good illustration of why MySpace is a weak product built on a solid business model and YouTube is a better product built on a flimsy-at-best business model. They simply don't have the option of behaving responsibly, since the entirety of their business is based around behaving irresponsibly. They are still not protecting artists and creators, they are simply giving them an opportunity to step forward and say "Hey! that's mine! Gimme some of the money it generates from now on!" No mention of the money it had made thus far, or for whom it was made. Disclaimer: I work for Revver. We're so the good guys on this one.
