It depends on the terms... I have selected the non-commercial 
distribution terms, which means no modifying, public performance, etc., 
without permission. Myspace's terms specifically say they can modify, 
publicly perform, etc.... I guess it's really not a violation, but it's 
kind of sneaky that posting content to the site automatically grants 
them the license... bet a lot of people didn't even realize they are 
giving permission implicitly when they upload files to the site.
