Billy Bragg Challenges User Agreements

In May 2006, Billy Bragg removed his music from MySpace.com because of concerns that the language of the user agreement appeared to confer overly broad rights over content to the company (see http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/31/business/media/31bragg.html?ex=1311998400&en=47cf184652d2e263&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss).
In June 2006 MySpace clarified the language of its agreement, though they made no reference to Bragg or his concerns (see http://collect.myspace.com/misc/terms.html?z=1)
Now Billy has a new target -- MTV Flux (see http://www.flux.com/). Click here http://www.billybragg.com/ to see Billy's challenge to MTV over its user agreement language
