MySpace? Not any more. It's OurSpace. Don't like it? Tough titty.

From Wired News: A Louisiana-based indie rock band called Bones has for a couple of years now had a page on MySpace.com, one of the insanely popular Web 2.0 user-content-driven sites that have been popping up all over the Net lately and getting bought up by megacorps with deep pockets and no real Internet strategy of their own. One fine day, they logged on to discover that their page had been taken over by a Fox Broadcasting Co. TV show that just happened to have the same name. MySpace, of course, had just recently been bought out by News Corp., which also just happens to own the Fox broadcast and cable empire that is metastasizing all over the tube like a particularly odious cancer. Read the full story here. (Full disclosure: Your Humble Correspondent also has a MySpace page.)

Memo to Tom Anderson, founder of MySpace: This is what happens when you sell out your users and let go of your brainchild to the likes of Rupert Murdoch for the sake of a gigundo cash-out. YouTube guys, are y'all taking notes? And to my man David "Angel" Boreanaz: Don't worry, babe, I know it's not your fault.
