So I been searching for good alternatives to myspace and been up against really bad terms of service for most sites. Most sites want to have ownership of the content in order to re publish it on the internet. While this is important, most sites are using terms of service that put all the ownership control into thier hands so they can do whatever they want with your songs/content. Most can make compilation CDs include your songs and not ask you pay royalties or even tell you that they are doing it.
So I have been battling with these sites to have them make their terms of service more artist friendly. I have found two sites that I like
FUZZ.com
http://instantasshole.fuzz.com/
and
Punkrockers.com
http://punkrockers.com/Instant Asshole/friend/
these two links will take you directly to the Instant Asshole pages so you can view and join if you like.
Fuzz.com started out with bad terms and has since changed them based on my input. They are SF based and run by musicians that I know personally. Its a good site that serves as a good alternative to myspace for musicians and bands.
Punkrockers.com has good terms and is more of a friend site than a musician/band site so it is more like myspace and has almost no advertising and is very user friendly.
Check these new sites out and join! And leave rupert murdock with the yuppies christians and censors to themselves back at myspace.
Instant Asshole will be keeping their myspace site but moving all content to :
http://punkrockers.com/Instant Asshole/friend/
and
http://instantasshole.fuzz.com/
The myspace site will serve to direct people to our new pages and to hold the INSTANT ASSHOLE spot there because to be a real asshole you have to stick it to the man and at least try to subvert the dominant paradim.
even if i cant spell it correctly. haha.
peace,

Brian and Jeff at fuzz mentioned that you were one of the few folks that read the "boiler plate" and really helped to improve the language that they want to put out there to reflect both the letter and spirit of what fuzz represents. Good to keep them on their toes.
