I love myspace, but man if I see one more of those error messages ever again I swear I'm going to cry!
The error page, and the 'Sorry, your profile is undergoing maintance!' page. Thats just as bad. Do they really need to maintain my profile THAT often?!

When you see a layout you like, COPY the entire code and PASTE it in your ABOUT ME section.

...Can you?! I always wondered what all that extra stuff in the html was! I think 'insertadvertisingbannerhere' was probably a bit of a giveaway.
 
I added you too DC & PGV! :wave:

PVG - there's 2 other people who have bonovox pics on their myspace (though I think they've switched profile pics now). Mr. Edge 2u is one, and another is Brono or Browyn...I can't remember her username. They are in my friendslist. You should put yours up too! :yes:

I have seen them on a few peoples profiles actually, and thought I must post mine. Join the bonavox club :wink:
Yeh I'm friends with Browyn/(Brono) too. I'm friends with loads of the u2 fans on here, but I don't know who most of them are on interference!

Here's the thing, our school hired our computer person to search the whole myspace website and they made up some stupid rule that you can't go on myspace (thats why my age is so up there) and so when i put a pic of me I have to have it not soo revealing..
 
[q]Universal sues MySpace on copyright
By Aline van Duyn and Joshua Chaffin in New York
Financial Times
Updated: 8:41 p.m. ET Nov 17, 2006

Universal Music, the world's largest record company, on Friday launched the media industry's first legal challenge against MySpace, the hugely popular social networking site owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Universal, owned by French media giant Vivendi, said it was suing MySpace for the copyright infringement of the music and music videos of its artists, citing specifically the easy availability of material from rap artist Jay-Z's as yet unreleased album "Kingdom Come".

The move follows months of negotiations between MySpace and Universal to try and strike a content deal, which broke down this week. It comes against increasing tensions between traditional media companies and new internet sites that specialise in user-generated content.

"The foundation of MySpace is its so-called user-generated content," the suit states, adding this is "user-stolen intellectual property of others, and MySpace is a willing partner in that theft".

MySpace said it was "unfortunate" that Universal had filed this "unnecessary and meritless litigation". It said the site was in full compliance with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and it provided users with the tools to share their own work, adding: "We do not induce, encourage or condone copyright violation in any way."

Internet sites such as MySpace and YouTube have gained millions of users in a matter of months.

Universal has so far taken a more aggresive line than its industry peers when it comes to cracking down on copyright infringement and is already suing Bolt.com and Grouper, two smaller sites that feature user-generated content.

Although other media executives are also concerned about copyright, some have questioned Universal's approach, arguing that the industry could be in court trying to collect legal settlements while its business melts away to rival websites.

Doug Morris, Universal's chief executive, threatened to sue YouTube, the most popular online video site, shortly before it was acquired by Google for $1.65bn. Universal ultimately cut a deal with YouTube in which it also received equity worth tens of millions of dollars.

Google has indicated it has set aside more than $200m to deal with possible lawsuits and copyright settlements over the next 12 months arising from its acquisition of YouTube.

The lawsuit comes one day after changes at the top of News Corp's internet division. Ross Levinsohn was on Thursday replaced as president of Fox Interactive Media, which includes MySpace, by Peter Levinsohn, previously in charge of digital strategy at the company's Fox Entertainment Group.

The issue of copyright infringement has spread beyond the music companies. News Corp itself is one of many big media companies in negotiations with Google about getting compensated for the use of its Fox and other video content on YouTube.
