Yeah, it did come across pretty whiny, but I think it's representative of what a lot of Myspace users think/thought about the service. For some reason -- which I still don't really understand -- a lot of people got lured into believing that Myspace was a replacement for running a legitimate website under your own domain. And it's not. Really, truly not. But a lot of bands thought that, as long as they were on Myspace, they didn't need to do anything else (or in some case could even take their existing sites down). I'm glad that people are finally figuring out that this was a bad idea. There's no problem with maintaining a presence on Myspace, Facebook, etc., if you're a band (in fact I think it's a really good idea), but it shouldn't be your only online presence. It's a lot safer to use those free services as traffic-drivers to your own domain than to depend on them exclusively.
