Myspace censors popular Gary McKinnon Song

With Gary's gaining popularity - The campaign to 'get' Gary is going at all lengths to discredit his name.

Recently Myspace jumped on to the censorship bandwagon when they realised his song 'Only a Fool' made it to No 5 on their song charts..
an extract from this site explained what followed:

MySpace in America appears to have blocked a search on Gary McKinnons own song and video on My Space. They Deleted his last song and video on My Space after it got 360,000 hits within 48 hours and reached the top five in the Music Charts all within 48 hours.

Screw myspace. IIRC it's owned by News Corp.

That's strange. Thanks for the information. I was browsing arround youtube and found his video.

www.youtube.com...

Why would they remove it..unless it contained something illicit or against the myspace posting policies. I doubt it was becasue it got so many hits in 48 hours. Has to be a real legit reason why.



Cheers!!!!

Well I think theres a simple reason for this! myself being in a band and using myspace for gigs and stuff there are programs out there that can increase your plays and views (i myself got my band into the uk charts top 20 just from one of the programs) and they breach myspace rules so they have most probaly caught him doin this and most prob banned his page! that could be one reason why p.s who the hells gary mckinnon

dont matter I know who he is now, songs whack anyway id ban it if i owned myspace

Now that's funny. Please ban the song's video from YouTube while you're at it.

MySpace isn't censoring Gary McKinnon's music. As a previous poster stated, there were most likely improper methods being utilized to distort the play count. People are "censored" for that all the time.
