MySpace banning Project Playlist from their network

Social networking service MySpace has confirmed that they are now removing Project Playlist from their network.

MySpace users had reported that their Playlist widgets were disappearing from their profile pages.

MySpace responded saying that they are taking this action on the complaints from major music companies who are sending them infringement notices.

The company said in a statement:

MySpace has received notices of infringement about Project Playlist at different times from several of the major music companies currently suing Project Playlist. Per our policy of taking very seriously the requests of rights holders to block access to third party sites that are believed to be infringing, we have evaluated the requests of the major music companies and determined that it is in our best interest not to allow Project Playlist widgets on MySpace, and effective immediately, we will no longer be allowing these widgets within the MySpace platform. Any third party widgets (including any music widgets) are welcome on MySpace so long as they do not include infringing content—we encourage our users to utilize the many legitimate applications found on MySpace and across the Web.
