Myspace to be sued

Blame Canada...

All I know is that this could mean bands would no longer be allowed to connect or communicate with anyone under 18, which is a HUUUUUGE audience, for most bands, that's almost their ENTIRE audience, and that could potentially ruin the BEST promotion tool known to man right now.

Skarey, you make some good points. It was always understood that this is MY house. There is no "MY room." We refer to it as yours, but at no point was there a misunderstanding about access. If you weren't supposed to have it in your possession, you certainly shouldn't bring it into MY house. Before the kiddies get too upset and SHOCKED by this, understand that we rarely searched their rooms. Then again, we didn't have to.

Well yeah. Even if someone has no morals, the point that anything illegal in the house can be legally held against the parents in court should be enough. Good point.

I think not. With as "wealthy" as "big time" musicians become, I doubt they'd slip up in this department, what with all the people watching them, waiting for an excuse to sue, as this story demonstrates.

I think he's speaking more of the smaller bands that use myspace as their main source of advertisement. And you'd probably be surprised at how many "big time" musicians aren't all that "wealthy".

he's not talking about "wealthy" or "big time" bands though

He's talking about if they had over 18 / under 18 areas that were exclusive.

I totally agree.
