Myspace TOS worries?

[andyt]

For all those playing the myspace game, I'm just wondering how concerned you are about violating Myspace's TOS.

1. advertising to, or solicitation of, any Member to buy or sell any products or services through the MySpace Services. You may not transmit any chain letters or junk email to other Members. It is also a violation of these rules to use any information obtained from the MySpace Services in order to contact, advertise to, solicit, or sell to any Member without their prior explicit consent. In order to protect our Members from such advertising or solicitation, MySpace.com reserves the right to restrict the number of emails which a Member may send to other Members in any 24-hour period to a number which MySpace.com deems appropriate in its sole discretion. If you breach this Agreement and send unsolicited bulk email, instant messages or other unsolicited communications of any kind through the MySpace Services, you acknowledge that you will have caused substantial harm to MySpace.com, but that the amount of such harm would be extremely difficult to ascertain. As a reasonable estimation of such harm, you agree to pay MySpace.com $50 for each such unsolicited email or other unsolicited communication you send through the MySpace Services;

does canspam cover posting comments on a myspace page? is this criminal activity? (what're you in for? ...oh i tried selling ringtones on myspace...) or just a risk (small) of getting sued?

edit: let me clarify that I have no interest or desire in phishing. I'm talking about creating accounts, and adding friends, and posting bulletins and comments in an automated way.

If you look at Myspace TOS, you really can't promote anything...
I suggest stop looking at their TOS, but don't SPAM the hell out of Myspace. Try to be decent and advertise smart (not to obvious)! If you still want to spam the hell out of Myspace, go for it but take the risk that you might be caught...
