Universal Sues MySpace

So it appears that Universal Music are trying to push their weight around, with the news breaking on Friday that Universal/Vivendi have sued MySpace/News Corp for copyright infringement. Citing video content as a particular point of concern.

Read the response from Myspace here.

Interesting to note that they haven't touched YouTube - who they signed an agreement with recently.

Also interesting to note that EMI refused to sign the same agreement as Universal, Warner and Sony BMG, as they decided that YouTube were unable to protect their interests whilst allowing people to stream a clip directly on personal websites/blogs/forums. Read more about it here.
