my song on my page wont play because it says artist has removed...could it be removed by the person i got it from or did the artist actually take it off?

The artist has decided to remove his song from being a part of the MySpace collaboration, so the web location where the song was stored is gone.
They didn't actually take it off of your profile only.
For those who think using MySpace songs is copyright infringement, it is not. MySpace has licensed or collaborated with the artists to have them post their music for use by MySpace users.
In this case the artist may have decided to not renew with MySpace.

Yes, an artist can, and SHOULD remove music s/he wrote if you haven't paid for its use in a 'public arena.' You may OWN the music, either MP3 or CD, but that is for 'personal use.' The 'pages' on myspace are not 'personal use' ... they are a public arena, and you must pay 'residuals' to use copyrighted music there. It's probably not 'the artist' who spends time doing this ... but they do hire people to 'remove music' where it hasn't been paid for ... and you are EXTREMELY LUCKY, since people are now being sued and are having to pay EXTREMELY HIGH FINES for playing this music or 'giving it to others' without 'paying the piper' (or guitarist, or writer of music) for doing it.

The artist probably removed it from the MySpace site entirely for one reason or another.

I'm pretty sure the artist didn't actually do it. He informed myspace that he does not approve of free usage.
So myspace removed it.

Either one. Music, books, movies, artwork, etc are not free, no matter how easy they are to find online without paying. It's called copyright infringement. An artist or creator of a work has certain rights to when, where, and how their content is used. And to avoid being sued (and losing) many websites will pull that content at the creators request. No questions asked.

Well, that is very interesting. I'd have to say yes because every piece of music is owned by someone and only they can approve of it's use. However, If I bought a cd with the music in question on it, I'd be a little perturbed if that happened to me. We are going to hear about this issue going to court, if it hasn't already.

you are able to attempt looking an internet site that could help upload it. as quickly as its uploaded use a code and positioned it on myspace. yet myspace itself doenst have a song importing function except you create an internet site such as you have been a musician.

no... but if it says song got deleted by artist... it means the artist deleted that song off their profile. not off yours.

Yeah, I think they can because the same thing happened to me and I found myself searching for another song.
