BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Pop Music MySpace doesn't want to get sued so . . .

They have signed a deal with Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The deal will allow those of us who have profiles on MySpace to post videos and music written and performed by Sony artists and bands.

Good deal, aye?

For me, MySpace music is a great tool for writing about music. I have discovered some great artists that I might never have heard. I post songs on my profile from artists and bands that I have written about.

I know that MySpace is also working with other labels on similar deals. I think this networking website has truly changed the way we find and share music.

I wonder if YouTube has the same kind of thing?

My son is always looking on YouTube for videos because he says they come out on there before they do on Yahoo Music.

BTW - do you have to have a MySpace account to look at your stuff, Chel? I clicked on your site, but it won't let me go anywhere excetp the main page...

I'm not sure what is going to happen with YouTube. I know there has been outcry about videos posted there and at times, some videos are removed because of copyright violations.

A good topic to research.

I think you need to have a MySpace page to comment or be added as a friend, but for the most part, that's my page. I just have some stuff listed as my interests, wait, I forgot, you do have to have a MySpace account to read my blogs, see I have some blogs posted with some tidbits of art. I actually started using it for BellaOnline because I get hits from a lot of artists.

Back to YouTube, I use it all the time to find videos of things I see mentioned in the news or stuff I might have missed on television.

Hi from Siobhain - Editor-In-Training (Short Stories)

One thing I prefer from MySpace over Facebook, is the facility to have music playing on the profile page. Also, these pages are much more original and creative, allowing each user to express their individuality with music, images, background etc.

I have never tried Facebook, however, I agree. I love the creative freedom I have on MySpace.

Facebook is my preference. Never could get into the MySpace thing.

I love your avatar. It's so awesome. Did you design it?
