Universal Music Sues MySpace

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hey-that's-our-money dept.

Grooves writes "Universal Music is suing MySpace for copyright infringement. Universal threatened to sue YouTube before the Google acquisition was announced, so now it looks like they have moved on to the next target. Ars speculates that Universal is really after a piece of the action. 'On the morning of the Google-YouTube deal, Universal — along with Sony BMG and CBS — signed a licensing agreement with YouTube. If MySpace were to sign a similar agreement with the label, there is little doubt that the lawsuit would disappear.'"

    What will we all have to complain about if MySpace goes away?

  2. Encryption? by one_red_eye · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If they're so worried about having the encryption on the DVD broken, why don't they use stronger encryption? Every time they release a new encryption protocol it gets cracked fairly quickly. If I can encrypt my filesystems such that is would take 100 years of computing to crack, why can't the MPAA encrypt DVD filesystems such that they take more that a week to crack?
