Photobucket vs. Myspace!
Apparantly, Myspace has made it impossible to hotlink Photobucket images or videos and use on your Myspace profile.

The Powers of Photobucket are not happy about this and post in their company blog

Of course, there's lots of wank in comments.

The articulate ones:
IF U LIMIT PHTO PEOPLE WILL LEAVE MY SPACE AND GO TO OTHER SITES THAT DO NOT HAVE RECTRICTONS

The I'm-gonna-pimp-MY-site-now ones:
I am trying to get my own social network going that I hope will outperform myspace-but no members yet, and it will rely heavily on third party video/image/audio feeds.
I haven't tried embeded a photobucket video into it as I haven't seen one yet, but that would only take a few minute to fix if given the format.
www.nerdsdespair.com

The [not-really-related-but-disliked-political-faction] comparsion:
Wow and the fascism train of myspace picks up more speed! That what happens when a good independent idea gets bought by a corporation!

i did not know we lived in communist russia.
what a f ing joke. tom you are overstepping your boundries. of the people by the people for the people! don't forget who made you rich... US! very typical of ever good thing, it has to come to an end. i hope you
( myspace/tom) reconsider the error of your ways. FOAD!!!!

etcetera and so on.

Anyone knows if MySpace has said something about this? I can't find anything there, so I haven't even looked.

Every once in a while I wonder if I'm the only person left on the internet who doesn't give a damn about MySpace and what they do.

Nope. I only have one to stalk look up old friends. Most of the time you have to be logged in to use the search function. It's muy annoying.

I think you must be using a different internet to me. I was always under the impression that there was lots of very healthy mockery and indifference for myspace all over the place.

If MySpace IS blocking anything, looks like they're just blocking videos... all the images I've been hotlinking still work just fine.

i did not know we lived in communist russia

But lord did that make me giggle. SURPRISE! You're in communist Russia! Whooo! Intarweb oppression for everybody!

Er... any word on *why* my space has banned photobucket accounts? I know there was a big brew-ha-ha awhile ago where photobucket became more restrictive of content that could be placed on their page because of people on my space whining that someone 'omg posted dirty pictures on my space using a photobucket account!' The ABJD fandom went minor nuts over it because 'our pictures of nekkid dolls are totally not porn photobucket is opressing us.'

Did they just get tired of complaints dealing with inappropriate content posted from photobucket? Do they have a pay image feature like livejournal so allowing free images is taking money out of their pockets? (In which case I'd suspect they'd go after more image hosting services than just photobucket.) Or did they just up and decide they didn't like photobucket's mom's face one morning?

My myspace is for my pretend self of a 99 year old git person trying to break out and pick up toy boys. As I haven’t uploaded any pictures yet, this will give me a starting point to gripe about. As none of the buttons there or google fixes work, I’m left with a basic layout. Peeved, does not do justice to the words I have muttered under my breath in trying to make it a hell-hole to my liking.

Lol - I just came here to see if this has been posted. All I wanted to do was upload one tiny image to post on my LJ and an hour later I'm still reading the Photobucket comments.

I love all the Tom SUXS comments, especially this one by Xoticbrandi
Myspace means Tom's space? Is that what I'm reading? I think it's unfair to offer a "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" Forum and then snatch it back. Once Myspace starts doing that, it's down hill all the way.

It will become just as lame as some of these other pages out here. These places
are so edited and restricted that no one wants to be on them. Is that what MYSPACE
wants to do? Force the community to find another space...because I'm telling you
that's what's going to happen.

I'm really disappointed about this. Though I've never really done any editing of vids. I was looking forward to learning. I watch many of them and get a kick out of them.

It's like this...there's something here (on myspace) for everyone. Or at least
that's what we all thought. It WAS entertaining and exciting and interesting.

My voice is loud when I say...CUT THE CRAP MYSPACE...NOT THE CONTENT! Stop trying to control people and if you keep doing this, no one will want to be on myspace. And think about this...when the people leave, THE ADVERTISING $'s will leave too. Think about that TOM! THINK ABOUT THAT!!!

Kiss, Kiss

Xoticbrandi
YEAH TOM!

Then there's this by lilni99a2:
yooo tom you fucking sux balls wtf is wrong with you with all dis bullshit why not just delete myspace if you want cuz you takeng a lot of shit out of myspace too so wut from myspace to photobucket wut now your going to go to tinypics you full of shit you know that tom if you taking a lot of things of myspace for reasons that you dont want to say then fucking shut down mysapce someone else will make one no1 needs all your bullshit ok soo go suck some balls cuz thats all your good at
But squirt tries to prove a point with this
oh please. i mean really, so the eff what? it's not the end of the freaking world, people. oh no, you can't post eighteen slide shows on someone's profile? wah wah wah. that crap crashes internet browers left and right anyway, so good for them. it does suck that they didn't communicate to photobucket, but what are you going to do? complain some more with your poor spelling and grammar and lack of punctuation? what exactly is that going to get you at the end of the day? nothing. so shut up and deal with it. you all seem to hate myspace anyway, so i'm wondering why exactly you care. *rolls eyes*
Guess the shift key is missing from his keyboard.

And finally (for now), Godwin's Law?
This doesn't surprise me, since mergering with google and utube things have been going to hell in a hand basket. Nazi Germany all over again. (Rhonna).
