LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31 (UPI) -- MySpace.com is adding technology from Gracenote that will allow the Web site to block unauthorized copyrighted music from being posted on its site.
Gracenote's MusicID audio-fingerprinting technology and Global Media Database will allow the people who run Myspace to review music uploaded to the site, RedHerring.com reported Tuesday.
The Los Angeles-based company will be able to identify copyrighted music in the Global Media Database and block such music from being uploaded.
"MySpace is staunchly committed to protecting artists' rights, whether those artists are on major labels or are independent acts," MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe said in a statement.
MySpace also said that it will delete the accounts of users who repeatedly attempt to upload unauthorized music.
