Myspace Legal has been very busy lately with some cease and desist letters being sent out to few websites. The legal department wasn’t targeting sites that have Myspace resources such as pictures or profile generators, but they were targeting automated script websites which were benefiting purely from the Myspace community. Sites such as SingleStat.us, which was a status report site for users of Myspace. This automated process type website is against the AUP of Myspace for really one reason: it puts a higher amount of stress on the Myspace servers, therefor providing a lower quality service to the actual community.
Myspace saw this as an opportunity to increase server performance and actually follow through with upholding their AUP. This is a good move for Myspace and we should hopefully see even a slightly higher increase in usability on the website. (via)
