Yea, so this is the official word. I noticed my playlist wasn't loading so I went to get the code on playlist.com, and I see a bulletin that myspace is blocking them. Anyone know why?

Found this while doing a quick Google search:
MySpace is an open platform that welcomes all developers to build rich and legitimate applications for its global community. We take copyright issues very seriously and our goal is to help developers build a substantial business by creating an environment that respects rights holders and protects their content.
MySpace has received notices of infringement about Project Playlist at different times from several of the major music companies currently suing Project Playlist. Per our policy of taking very seriously the requests of rights holders to block access to third party sites that are believed to be infringing, we have evaluated the requests of the major music companies and determined that it is in our best interest not to allow Project Playlist widgets on MySpace, and effective immediately, we will no longer be allowing these widgets within the MySpace platform. Any third party widgets (including any music widgets) are welcome on MySpace so long as they do not include infringing content—we encourage our users to utilize the many legitimate applications found on MySpace and across the Web.

Yeah, they took mine off my page and sent a message saying because of some copyright reason or something they weren't allowing it anymore.

Need another reason to hate Record labels? Well, here you go! People need to incite a music rebellion one of these days. Kinda like a peasant rebellion, but with iPod docking devices and old CD players instead of pitchforks.

Eh, I disabled mine a while back when myspace introduced their own playlist. It only does ten songs, but really... I don't expect people to spend that long at my site anyway.

Need another reason to hate Record labels? Well, here you go! Yeah, pretty much. I still think a ton of artists should start following in Trent Reznor's footsteps.

Hm. Doesn't really affect me as I have a "film" account--I couldn't put music on there anyway.
At least MySpace is keeping itself away from lawsuits...
