DeWolfe said MySpace would be "enhancing and customizing" its online music store as the service evolves, aiming to eventually offer copyright-protected songs from major record companies.

"I don't think the record companies are going to be interested in distributing music without copy protection anytime soon," said David Card, analyst at Jupiter Research.

Though DeWolfe would not give any details of discussions with record companies, an industry source close to the matter said EMI Group has had discussions with MySpace. EMI declined comment.

I agree, they need to stop adding things and focus on fixing the errors they have now. MySpace isn't that great as is, now their just looking to cash in on what they've made. Always about money, sad.

Of course it's about money. This is the business world. However, that said, Tom has always been interested in music (hence the MySpace Records label), so this is a natural extension of that.

You didn't understand what I was saying about $$$, I use to love coming to these forums but nearly every comment i've made in the past few months you've choosen to comment right after me, is there a reason for that? I don't need to hear it.. I'm off as I have better things to do then talk to someone who's constantly being rude.

How was I rude? I made a valid point about Tom's interests and this being a natural move towards what he wants to accomplish in getting smaller bands out to the masses.

BTW, I don't know who you are or where I've commented back to you before. I saw a comment I didn't agree with and I replied. I was courteous, but to the point. Where did I go wrong this time?
