The Internet community phenomenon known as MySpace has released a statement saying they are integrating a new software that will scan old and new MySpace pages for integrated files that may be copyright protected.
The company's CEO and co-founder Chris DeWolfe stated "MySpace is staunchly committed to protecting artists' rights, whether those artists are on major labels or are independent acts. This is another important step we're taking to ensure artists control the content they create."
Recently, many online websites have come under scrutiny from the major record labels to cease and desist usage of copyrighted materials. MySpace looks to be protecting their assets from obvious potential lawsuits from organizations such as the RIAA.
