Facebook too bans Project Playlist on their network
MySpace recently started disabling Project Playlist widgets on their network pages.
Now, Facebook is doing the same as they too are facing pressure from the media giants.
Facebook stated about this new development:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) initially contacted Facebook last summer requesting the removal of the Project Playlist application for copyright violation, and recently reopened those communications. We have forwarded the RIAA’s letters to Project Playlist so it can work directly with that organization and music labels on a resolution. In the meantime, the application must be removed to comply with the Facebook Platform Terms of Service. Our hope and expectation is that the parties can resolve their disagreements in a manner that satisfies the developer and copyright holder, that continues to offer a great experience to music fans, and that doesn’t discourage other developers from using (Facebook’s) Platform to share their creativity and test new ideas.
Project Playlist has already entered into a deal with Sony BMG but they still face lawsuits from other media industry giants.
