Like a Dog...

I maintain myspace websites for two of my old bands.
King Loser
SPUD
Recently myspace has blocked songs from both sites citing copyright infringement.
Initially I thought this was a joke - I was a member of both bands and performed on the songs...surely I AM the copyright holder.It's unclear exactly who is claiming ownership of the songs.Myspace is mediating between myself and the other party without offering any helpful information.
It seems this may have entered into the murky realms of publishing deals and contracts signed by both bands back in the nineties.Both bands were signed to Flying Nun Records and would have signed publishing to Festival Mushroom.
Flying Nun Records were consumed by Mushroom/News Ltd ? And now reside under Warner Music.Which is where I suspect the problem is.Warner in an effort to restrict their increasing revenue losses have randomly 'clamped it down'.
Pretty pathetic considering neither band would be moving many units these days.
Stay tuned...
