Well, Hitler was brought up earlier ...

But your argument, as I understood it, was "nevermind the politics - it's a
good product made by some talented people, some of whom are probably also
musicians." And I think it's a problematic argument because one can say that
about a lot of atrocious things. Your earlier argument that it's functional
and it allows you to spend more time making music, etc. - I agree with.

Personally, the dollars my myspace presence earn Murdoch's empire are
probably a lot less than what I've been able to pay artists as a result of
increased income from increased attendance at shows. It's the same
cost-benefit analysis that a lot of folks have been coming up with in
defending their myspace presence.

sake! it's just friggin myspace!
