Been using the new MySpace for awhile now. I like it. Looks like it's changed a bit more lately though. Kinda neat really. Would be nice on a tablet for sure.

Don't really go to the new site or main much, since I really only go to MySpace to listen to an artists music to see what they sound like before I download.

I got access a month ago or so, I logged in, looked around for a bit and never went back. No point in it.

That depends I guess. There's no point in having your own start page/logged in page, really.

But MySpace does serve a very useful purpose, that's where all the music artist have there info and music at.

I use MySpace on a regular basis. Probably around 25 to 50 times a day.

Like I mentioned, I go there to preview a particular bands music and info about them, etc. etc.

99% of bands in the world are listed there, and as far as I can tell, MySpace is pretty much the only place.

Besides, on blogs I go to, when they have info/downloads of bands, they provide a link to MySpace, some link to Facebook, but bands don't have much material wise on their Facebook pages... yet. MySpace is the best for listening to their music anyways. YouTube for vids, but ya need the band info first.

It still exists???

Hey Grandpa, I've found your old SN Site!!!! :p

You still exist?

MySpace was designed for musicians, and is used by them still,

I don't recall any other sites they use, other than posting stuff that going on with them, on Facebook.

Surely they'll probably migrate fully to Facebook in the future.

People hold on to the past toooo much.

MySpace is about entertainment now. They bought one of the best sites for musicians awhile back and focused on it.

Even though they didn't bring one of the MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES OVER, WHICH WAS EASILY BUILDING/COMMUNICATING WITH A FAN BASE AND COLLABORATING WITH ARTIST. They still built a whole new monster that's awesome.

I hope to see more features from IMEEM come to MySpace. Targeting mainstream is great in all, but don't kill a community and force IMEEM users to MySpace to only shove mainstream down our throat and take away independent artist ways to grow and community with their fan base. I miss having LOTS of fans waiting on my music online to give their opinion on it. Also, I miss the 100 people a day list where people will join the site looking for new music. It was so easy to get fans and now only the mainstream gets this opportunity at the moment.

I remember back when MySpace was cool. You could post pure HTML in the comments and have it display. There was things where you could post <title> as the comment and it would delete the entire page.

For the most part though, my buddies and I would post gay porn all over our friends pages (we are all 100% straight and in no way enjoy looking at gay man on man porn), so yea.. MySpace.. it's all about the defacing.

I remember I spent a good day coding my own overlay for Myspace, it looked amazing in IE

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
