Universal Snipping Artists' MySpace Streams To 90 Seconds

From Maura Johnston, Idolator:

It's not as big as the Led Zeppelin maybe-news, but Bob Lefsetz's latest mailbag also passed along a MySpace bulletin from singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, whose career was assisted in part by her songs streaming from the social-networking site (not that her family connections didn't help, too). According to Caillat, the powers that be at Universal have decided to cap MySpace streams at 90 seconds, in an effort to stop crafty kids from ripping really crummy streams of songs to their hard drives and covering them in onions. Or something like that.
