Location: Scotland | Bragg is more notable as a political activist than a musician, and while he's written a couple of decent songs, he can hardly be considered cutting edge. That said, I always find myself agreeing with him on a political level but I think he's off the mark by a long way here. I would never be an apologist for an asshole like Murdoch, but at at a grassroots level it strikes me that Myspace does far more good than harm for musicians. Particularly as a way to network and build a fan base. It'll be interesting to see if anything litigious develops down the road over copyright, but as no-one else except BB seems to be concerned right now, it looks like a storm in a teacup. Maybe Billy hasn't been getting enough column inches lately. |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I have a MySpace page for keeping in contact with a load of young people from my church and community, as well as networking with relationships that came via MySpace. There are a lot of Christian artists that use MySpace for promotion as well as a global net of musicians. I have found the site to be a good way to discover music and artists I would not otherwise, mostly because every day some new band wants to be my 'friend'. I value some of those connections, and think Paul T. is quite right in that it does more good than harm.
