Just in time for the writers' strike to
halt shooting on a bunch of its shows, the movie and television studios owned by NewsCorp are now allowing the use of music from Universal Music Group and Universal Music Publishing Group in its productions. (The ban allegedly stemmed from UMG's copyright-infringement lawsuit against MySpace—a suit that turns a year old this month, aww.) Get ready for "Welcome To The Jungle" to serve as the soundtrack for a super-soppy scene in
My Name Is Earl! If the writers ever quit striking, that is. [
