tragedy of the myspace commons

thanks to carlos for this link:

as far as i'm concerned, myspace is a 'major label'. for entities like that, independent artists are natural growth, and don't require tending or attention.

in fact, i'd have to assume that there is an internal notion that it is the indie's _job_ to supply myspace with content and not get uppity about how it is promoted or distributed.

they do, after all, provide free webspace for artists to advertise themselves...isn't that enough?

next up, 'pay to play'. NOT!
