Were the practices of myspace copyright infringement- how


In 2006, Myspace, an Internet Web site for young adult social networking, was sued by the Universal Music Group, Inc., for copyright infringement. Basically, Myspace was allowing users to upload musical content such as videos and songs to their profiles. Myspace was somewhat protected under a federal law that makes such practices illegal only if the copyright holder actually complains and the content is not subsequently removed from the site.

Universal Music Group brought suit in an effort to change that law and claimed that such practices were still copyright infringement. Were the practices of Myspace copyright infringement?

How would a judge's legal philosophy affect how he or she would rule in this case? UMG Recordings Inc. v. Myspace, Inc., 526 F. Supp. 2d 1046; U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91179 (C.D. Cal. 2007).
