Myspace與版權

這一年無疑是音樂產業的巨大變動期，新的媒介如Myspace、Youtube改變了音樂傳播的方式，Tower唱片行在上個月倒了，代表傳統唱片行的轉變。
一直想寫一些音樂硬體環境變化的討論，但目前瞭解有限，還是在陸陸續續收集資料。
現在想想與其要等到有時間來寫文章，還是先把看到的訊息丟出來，和大家討論吧。

MySpace.com, the social networking site owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, will install new technology designed to stop its 120m users from posting unauthorised copyrighted music on its site and will ban frequent copyright offenders.

The move to introduce the fingerprinting software comes amid pressure from major studios and record labels on popular web destinations like MySpace and YouTube to curb the large amounts of material that gets illegally shared on the web.

MySpace said on Monday it was also trying to find technology that could check and block videos posted on its site.
