---- Universal Music Sues MySpace.com

The whole copyright law thing needs to be addressed, in the USA especially. It is getting out of hand with the help of unemployed lawyers!

If I can copyright a video, why can't I copyright my face? If I can copyright a photo of my face, why can't I sue anyone who publishes an image of me?

How exactly is educational and "for profit" defined?

All search engines make money, and they show copyrighted images, so they all must be guilty under the current "dumb-ass" law the USA has!

Universal can pick on MySpace.com today, (bad choice IMHO), it could have picked on many others instead. But, someone can most likely pick on you tomorrow......

The only thing clear here is that the current law is an ass and needs a lot of refinement!
