It simply sets up the way in which royalties relating to the song will be paid out. If there is a copyright dispute, IMRO/MCPS stand aside and assitionally suspend royalty payments on the work until the copyright issue has been resolved. Just thought I'd let you know so people do not erroneously rely on this for copyright purposes.

However, doesnt the above paragraph just say that myspace can do do whatever they like to the content, within myspace? "(with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, adapt, translate, publicly perform, publicly display, store, reproduce, transmit, and (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." So isnt that just saying that they can use your content within myspace as they like, buts its not like they can grab your music and use it for a Coke ad without asking you. At least, thats what I hope its saying. Murdoch.......what a horrible little bag of filth.... Good spot, worrying stuff indeed.
