News Corp owns this thing. Is anyone really that surprised?
No not really. Anyone with some common sense would see being sued buy the RIAA and MPAA isn't such a wonderful thing regardless of political slant.

Your answer is at the bottom of the Forbes piece:

"In September, MySpace unveiled plans for a new online music store with Snocap that will enable musicians and record labels to sell their music on MySpace. The store will allow MySpace to provide its members with a greatly expanded inventory of fresh music content without running into legal headaches over copyrights."

Translation: They're ready to charge for that content so it's time to restrict the free, uncontrolled distribution.

 I know that a few bands have their own MySpace pages. For example, Weird Al is at »www.myspace.com/weirdal . Now, on his page are some of his songs. These are obviously copyrighted and would likely be removed if someone else put them on their MySpace page. So will they be removed from Weird Al's page also? If they let Al keep his songs on, though, will "You're Pitiful" be flagged as James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" (which it spoofs) and be taken down?

I forsee a lot of false positives and wrongful takedowns in MySpace's future.
