Trent Lapinski of Apple-X has posted an article about MySpace.com’s ties to a spyware company, in light of its recent aquisition by Fox, and how this may impact users’ privacy. As Trent says:

However, as this journalist continued investigating MySpace he discovered that MySpace was owned by Intermix Media, Inc. (formerly eUniverse), a company known for pop-up advertising, past use of adware and spyware and that they were one of the companies that help supply the adware behind controversial peer-to-peer file sharing network Kazaa.

It was then announced this past Monday that MySpace was to be entirely acquired by Intermix Media (formerly Intermix only owned a little over a half of MySpace). Following this, today it was announced that in a separate deal Intermix Media, Inc. including MySpace was to be purchased for $580 million by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. 

An interesting read.
