If you’re one of the 28 people who still think MySpace is pretty keen and neat-o cool, you’re going to hate this.
CNN Money is reporting that MySpace is in talks with the music industry heads to launch a music-sharing site that will stream copyrighted music and sell MP3 downloads.
A quote taken from the article: “MySpace… has attempted to expand its position as a social networking site into an online media company.”
The Russian newspaper Pravda led the story with the headline “MySpace wants free music for its users”.
I know, they’re Russian, there’s probably a language barrier, they uphold the principles of Communism.
And yeah, there’s a slant here. “MySpace wants to genetically engineer unicorns for all the flightless children of the world.”
CNN Money isn’t stupid though, they know the last unicorns were killed off during the Mythical Horse Genocide of 1894.
They also know that MySpace has abandoned any semblance of peer to peer-ness and is rolling in corporate kickbacks.
It’s just one of the many steps in the process to make money via the mouse click and pillage our purses while we’re sleeping.
Yes, I have a purse. And yes, I’m opening a Walmart in my living room this summer. No shipping and handling, durh.
