Hmmmm. I just opened this email from My Space about the music playlist on my page. It's the same one I use on this site.

Widget From Your Profile Has Been Deleted.
Body:
Your Project Playlist widget has been removed from your profile in response to copyright complaints. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but it is absolutely imperative that MySpace respect the rights of copyright owners, artists and record labels.
Isn't Online Music Free?
No, MySpace, Rhapsody, Napster, Imeem, Yahoo Music, Pandora, Last.FM all pay fees to the artist and record labels for the rights for you to play their music online. It may seem free to you, but if it's legal, someone is probably paying for you to hear the music.
Don't I Have the Right to Listen to Songs I Purchased on Amazon, MySpace, iTunes or on CD in My Project Playlist Player?
No, buying the album or song does not give you the right to put the songs in your Project Playlist Player, or upload them to MySpace, or upload them to any file sharing service.
When will I be able to use a Project Playlist music player on MySpace again?
As soon as their legal situation is settled, and the artists are getting paid, MySpace will consider re-enabling the embedding of Project Playlist music players.
Where Do I Get Legal Playlists for My Profile?
Imeem, Last.FM, iLike, and MySpace Music are all good options.
Thanks for your understanding,
MySpace
So, out of respect to Jo Dee, the song writers, etc., I removed the playlist from this site too. I know it's a free world and it sucks because I loved having Jo Dee's music on here, but it just seemed like the right thing to do. I really never had any idea it was not alright. I assumed the site that generates the player was on the "up and up". Lesson learned = user beware. Something to think about...............
