Tech: MySpace screws over its musicians big time with iMeem deal

  • lame Despite music being a huge bedrock of the company’s busi­ness model, MySpace paid less than $1 mil­lion for bank­rupt iMeem, which ran the dead pay-for-music ser­vice SNOCAP (founded, BTW, by Nap­ster founder Shawn Fanning).
  • lamer MySpace did NOT buy iMeem’s lia­bil­ity to pay roy­al­ties to musi­cians who used, umm, MySpace to sell music. Some artists haven’t been paid for over a year. And some of these artists are owed a lot of money. This is bull#)&!. source
