Breaking news: Posting from Photobucket to MySpace


A Message to our Customers

Today MySpace made the decision to prevent Photobucket users from posting their videos and remixes to their MySpace pages.

This action by MySpace means that all of the videos and remixes you created will no longer show up on your MySpace profile, blog and comments section. More specifically, if you attempt to add new videos or remixes to your profile, they will be removed.

We are not happy about this and we’re pretty sure you’re not happy either. We appreciate that you have invested hundreds of thousands of hours using the editing, remixing and management tools and features available only on Photobucket. In particular, you've all been really embracing videos at Photobucket -- to the tune of 50,000 video uploads a day, which is great. Rest assured that your content is being kept safe in your Photubucket album even though it may disappear from your MySpace pages.

We believe that by limiting your ability to personalize your pages with content from any source, MySpace is contradicting the very belief of personal and social media. MySpace became successful because of the creativity of you, its users, and because it offered a forum for self-expression. By severely restricting this freedom, MySpace is showing that it considers you as a commodity which it can treat as it sees fit.

Note, photos can still be posted from Photobucket to MySpace.  This action by MySpace appears to only affect videos and remixes.

What can you do?

Vote with your feet and your keyboards.  Tell MySpace how you feel.

(1) Write to mscontact@myspace.com or click here to give them your thoughts.

(2) Send a MySpace bulletin to all your friends telling them to also give MySpace their feedback.

~ Drummerboy Keep on thinking positive…..thank God for everything that’s good in your life……..and make it a great week!

It is probably because they are afraid of lawsuits. Lots of things that people post are copyrighted, they are not the lawful owners. Less chance of this happening with photos. I think it was You Tube that was sued recently? So I don't think you can blame them for wanting to protect themselves. John
