Simply because new and better things will overcome MySpace. No matter what MySpace does, it's a fad. Unless they make some serious changes over the next couple of years... and a stupid TV series isnt going to cut the cake for that.

MySpace will be worth more than $10 billion in five years time. News Corp got an amazing discount as it only paid pennies for MySpace. News Corp was able to do that as it did not inform MySpace's shareholders that MySpace's revenues were growing at 1200 per cent. Murdoch is a cheat and a crook. The founders got ripped off big time. It was an eye popping theft. News Corp buying Myspace for $580 million will go down as one of the largest merger-and-acquisition scandals in U.S. history.
