   I was scanning a Time magazine (or Newsweek, or something) and there was an article where My Space did a very, very low-key update in June sometime where they changed the music rights. It went sort of like, “your music is ours in ways of duplication, selling, and most of its rights if you post your music up.” Just thinking of My Space and music. I don’t think that that could happen to you, because it was originally posted here, right? So they don’t have complete rights of your music.

   Actually, they don’t have the rights to sell your music. Here are the key snippets:

   ———–
   MySpace.com does not claim any ownership rights in the … materials (collectively, “Content”) that you post to the MySpace Services. … By displaying or publishing (”posting”) any Content on or through the MySpace Services, you hereby grant to MySpace.com a limited license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content solely on and through the MySpace Services. … The license does not grant MySpace.com the right to sell your Content, nor does the license grant MySpace.com the right to distribute your Content outside of the MySpace Services.
   ——–

   It also terminates as soon as you remove the music from the webpage.

   Would be nice if MySpace itself offered an option for any musician to sell downloads directly via MySpace with the lions share of the money going to the artist. If it turned out that track sales are weak overall on MySpace, then the lack of a convenient mechanism to sell tracks could not be blamed.

   One site I have found that offers a far greater share of download revenue to the independent artist is http://www.mysongstore.com - The artist receives $0.74 for each song sold for $1.00.

   I put some of my smelly gas on myspace and I can’t sell a single thing. I called them. I e-mailed them. I went to their headquarters in Bethesdah. I am crazy with desire. I can’t even read. I thought ‘here is a way to reach my enemies’ and what did I get? Just another sorry charlie hoo ha. I can’t stand it anymore.

    I uploaded one of my tracks to snocap but after reviewing the terms of agreement, I deleted my myspace acount within the next hour and e-mailed snocap to end the agreement.I explained to them how I now have a great mistrust of them.I never gave my track a chance to post with them.But they state they have rights over member’s names and art and making blocks even after ending the agreement.I have fears about my very tasty .com name.My track is unregesterd and none protected but was already posted in another online store.Can they block sells there?Do I have any reason to fear snocap can now use my .com name and art? Anyone Please?
    I have reason to believe that snocap has a relation with the pit of hell.I could be wrong.I need info to rest my mind.Forgive me for being so stupid.I didnt think I would havt to deal with such snake feces and distaste in the online music world.

    snocap sucks a lot.. i rececomend you to do this if you have it on your myspace
    If you need to remove your MyStore from your MySpace page, follow these steps:

    1. Login to your MySpace account, and click the “Account Settings” link.

    2. On the “Profile Settings” line, click on the “Change Settings” link.

    3. On the “Profile Settings” page, there is a check box that says “Display my Music Store on my profile”.

    Uncheck this box.

    4. Click on “Change Settings”.

    Here is a page that rated the currently available sales widgets. Snocap came in last:

    Thanks to Chris for posting how to remove the snocap store form the mypsace page! I’ve contacted snocap and have asked them to cancel my account. They’re atrocious.

    1. Login to your MySpace account, and click the “Account Settings” link.

    2. click on the “Miscellaneous” link.
    I think…. I went back to look and it is gone since I removed mine.
