Hey guys
To all those people who have videos on myspace.com and didn't read the terms and conditions, I thought I would let you know that in the terms it basically says that you give myspace/fox control over your videos, I quote this from their terms.....

QUOTE
Proprietary Rights in Content on MySpace.com.
By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content, messages, text, files, images, photos, video, sounds, profiles, works of authorship, or any other materials (collectively, "Content") on or through the Services, you hereby grant to MySpace.com, a non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and distribute such Content on and through the Services. This license will terminate at the time you remove such Content from the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a back-up or residual copy of the Content posted by you may remain on the MySpace.com servers after you have removed the Content from the Services, and MySpace.com retains the rights to those copies. You represent and warrant that: (I) you own the Content posted by you on or through the Services or otherwise have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Services does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing any person by reason of any Content posted by you to or through the Services.


Just to warn you people with your videos on there because I know not many people read the terms and I would hate to see anyone on these forums get their video used and not see anything out of it from myspace.

A bit off topic, but does anyone know how I can change our current standard myspace account to a filmmaker account?

Well it says "On or through the services you hereby grant......" but I think its just if you upload them cos I dont see how they can do that if your just linking.

Assuming thats where they got it.

That sucks. There is nowhere free to upload without potential consequence. How about Putfile?
