Hey Mike!
WOW! First time I’ve heard that! Thank you for the most-serious “heads-up!” I know that MySpace was originally set up AS a musicians’ site, for the kind of indie promotion it’s so used for now. I’d be shocked to find that the case, but I can only say, any music I post is properly copyrighted first, through my publishing administrators (a huge international organization I’ve been with since 1975), and even corroborated with past video recordings over the last couple of years on logged, dated, live webcasts. If anyone were to try the infringement route, I could certainly back up my authorship and 100% ownership.
 
Thank you VERY much for the warning, though, Mike! Words worth paying CLOSE attention to. In fact, I’ll do what I can to investigate that, and let you know what I find. That would send serious chills thru the indie music community!
 
Thanks muchly!
‘Tronically yours,
Berington

Is it still the case that any music (or anything else) uploaded to
MySpace becomes the property of Ruopert Murdoch's News Corp who now own it?

It certainly used to be the case; several musicians have been stung by
this one.
