Universal Music Chief Executive Doug Morris had publicly hinted that his company could take legal action against MySpace and YouTube back in September.

"We believe these new businesses are copyright infringers and owe us tens of millions of dollars,"Universal Music CEO Doug Morris said during a conference in September."How we deal with these companies will be revealed shortly.

:Oh crap

the music business has a good friend in these companies

now they will begin to bite the hand that feeds

"yes please, take down all of our free advertising, for a product no one in their right mind will buy these days for $16 a pop...when a cd costs $1"

myspace presents the music in a format that is hard to copy....its not like they leave .mp3 links up

fucking retards....let them keep digging their own grave with the public & now big companies like fox

wow i didnt see that coming

hmmmmmm the reason why bands like artic monkeys got so big was because of myspace.


bad bad idea.

Uh i hate those idiots like MPAA,RIAA or DMCA.For example when they sue warez sites and saying "this sites causes 10 millions of lose".In my life i bought one original music cd for 1$,and that's not gonna change no matter they do.And speaking about myspace and youtube,that is also stupid beacuse they cannot control what users do.

Actually, the CD and all packaging costs about $1 if you're a small label.

A massive label like Universal would probably get CDs and all packaging for about $0.50, if that.

Nevertheless, the wholesale price of most CDs is between $4 and $7. Its everyone on up the foodchain that makes CDs so expensive.

yeah I saw... big fee per song! Sucks to be them

$150,000 per unauthorized song or video.

maybe they will lose a lot of money...
