Thanks for all the info gentlemen.
Regarding MySpaceSupport and other such sites, although Myspace was sending out bulk generic C&D's at the beginning of the year, they have backed off from sites like MySpaceSupport which actually 'benefit' MySpace. Or so the word on the net goes ... you'll notice that MySpaceSupport even took down the info about the lawsuit which they had on their site.
Either way, point taken, won't be putting these on the open market anytime soon.
