I found some discouraging stuff on how myspace might be sneakally making unsigned bands suffer and making sure their "featured " or "signed" artists are reaping the rewards of myspace.

go to myspace dot com /forums/t/4659905?SortOrder=0

( darn forum rules.. )

Its hard enough trying to network yourself when you dont know what promoters or other bands live around you unless you play gigs together, but you'd think something as simple as a local search i.e. being able to type in "search for bands within 5 miles " on myspace would be such an important thing for them to give their unsigned artists, and they've mysteriously removed it...

To me it looks like their way of keeping the rich richer and the poor poorer
