Billy Bragg 1 - Rupert Murdoch 0
Thanks to the people at Outlaw.com for giving an excuse for posting a story about Billy Bragg who has forced MySpace to change its terms and conditions. The site is owned by owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and changed its terms after lobbying by Bragg.
"With respect to the guys at MySpace I have to accept that within a week of me writing a letter to Music Week they had complied with my suggestion to change their terms and conditions, so more power to them, I respect that," Billy told OUT-LAW. "I think MySpace acted in the spirit of the internet." He has been campaigning for MySpace to change its terms and conditions, which seemed to give rights to music posted there to the Murdoch-backed company. Late last week the site did change its rules to reflect Bragg's wishes.
