Here's my scenario:
Lots of famous bands are on myspace's music section. Let's imagine myspace.com
decides to release a compilation album of TV On The Radio[1] and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs[2]
along with some other local Brooklyn bands. Because of this license they can release the
compilation album and sell it from a "sublicencee" company without notifying the
bands who composed or performed the music. They own this product through and through. The
bands might not be entitled to a percentage of the profit unless they or their laywers get
involved. That's the point.

You missed the part about sublicense:
"(with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of
sublicensees)"
I don't think the right to sublicense trumps the limitation to
"on and through the Services", but again, I'm no lawyer.
If it doesn't, then that clause merely exists to cover their
asses when they decide to outsource hosting, management, et al.
to Sites'R'Us in Bangalore.
