This is like groundhog day. Why wouldn't indies get a share too? Especially when you consider the presence of aggregators like The Orchard and others, how hard is it for MySpace to calculate and hand over their share, if they're already doing it for majors? I think it's pretty safe to say indies drive a substantial part of the MySpace traffic, add that to the history with majors including lawsuits and hacking back their content to samples... this is pathetic, MySpace is not stepping up to the plate here.

Wait, you're telling me life is not fair? It's all about the money? GET OUT OF HERE!
