I study Rupert Murdoch and News Corp as part of my film and media course at university and I must say this doesn't suprise me at all.
He is far beyond anything you read. He is one of the most evil, yet increadibly business smart guys on the planet.

The protests gathered pace, and when 600 MySpace customers complained and a campaign began to boycott the site and relocate to rival sites such as Friendster, Linkedin, revver.com and Facebook.com, News Corp relented and restored the links

1. customers?
2. that had to be funny to watch..."IM GOING TO FRIENDSTER!"
3. facebook doesn't want you, unless you go to college. We are elite over there.

600 boycotting members would mean nothing. Should of kept the censorship up!

Haha.

When did MySpace become a file-sharing site?

I have a question for someone on staff at AP.net, how much would Murdoch and his 'friends' have to offer to buy the site?

my favorite part is when they mention the bloggers not being satisfied with the simple misunderstanding. I just pictured a thousand angry people retaliating via firm dissapproving messages from their keyboards.

He may have questionable ethics, but that dude is laughing all the way to the bank.

myspace is gay.

"gay" is not a synonym for "stupid" or "ugly". Just thought I'd mention that...in case you didn't know.

very true, but apparently he wasn't lying:

http://www.myspaceisgay.com/

everyone knows, if you read it on the internet, it must be true (and if it's a registered domain name, well then it's truthiness has gotta be through the roof)

Wow... "The man is like totally censoring our rights! What's next? We can't take mirror shots or dramatic angle pictures anymore? That's like totally lame! Let's boycott!"

Myspace has just gotten ridiculous lately. I'm glad I never bought into that crap.

So lets see 600 people out of 38 million leave...

Oh yeah, big hit there.

thank goodness. myspace was the single worst idea ever fathomed by man. And I'm not being sarcastic. Being a popularity chase is way beyond the point. It's a pathetic website where people's that lives literally revolve around. I worry about freedom of speech with this site. People are given the liberty to say whatever they want, and mostly, what people say is crap.

He's right though. You can't go anywhere without hearing about it or its cliche bullshit.
