Q: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
The reality that free services aren’t actually free is currently being demonstrated through the latest money-grab by MySpace. User account information is being made available to anyone who wants it for a surprisingly cheap price. 
  
 One look at the Infochimps website shows that you can purchase 24 hours of MySpace’s real-time data stream for just $30. The data is described as follows: 
  
 It contains most all fields and data offered by the stream, unparsed and packaged for a full day. 
  
 When you sign up for a MySpace account, you also agree that MySpace own all the content you decide to upload. A fair exchange in return for the service being free? Maybe it was at the time, but now anyone can buy all the information for analysis and marketing if they so wish. 
  
 [UPDATE] MySpace has since been in contact making it clear that they are in fact not selling user data, instead allowing what is already freely available to be repackaged and sold by Infochimps. Here’s MySpace’s official response to this news: 
  
 MySpace is not selling user data to Infochimps. MySpace provides developers, including companies such as Infochimps, with free access to publicly available real-time data (such as status updates, music, photos, videos) using our Real Time Stream feed. We have identified the need for third-party developers who can’t handle the size of our full feed to still have access to the data in a different format. For this reason InfoChimps is offering developers a pre-packaged version of our Real Time Stream, as a value-added service. 
  
 MySpace also point to the Infochimps blog for further information on what exactly is being offered: 
  
 This data is not sold by MySpace, but given out for free from their API and then packaged by Infochimps for redistribution. By giving developers free access to publically available real-time data (such as status updates, music, photos, videos) MySpace reinforces its commitment to powering the real-time social Web and the development of open standards.

 Matthew’s Opinion 
  
 Unfortunately, this is the reality of your data on a site like MySpace. The content of the site is owned by the company, not the individual, and they can use it how they please. There is a developer agreement attached to purchasing the data, but that won’t stop marketeers filtering through the information and using it for their gain. 
  
 Targeted advertising, statistical analysis for future product launches, and even use by other social networks to help improve their service, are all potential uses for this data. 
  
 The decision to sell this data is clearly one based on a need to generate revenue from the network. MySpace has lost its mojo of late while rival Facebook is going from strength to strength. Turning to selling off of data streams sounds like desperation to me. ||||| Social networking just became a little riskier to your privacy. Information from MySpace is now for sale to third parties ranging from academics and analysts to marketers. 
  
 The data will include any activity or information that is attached to an account. That includes blog posts, location, photos, reviews, and status updates--among others. Infochimps, an Austin, Texas, company that collects and sells structured data, is selling the data. 
  
 Of course, MySpace is perfectly within its rights to work with Infochimps, because it legally owns the data and the server logs. Users waive their right to privacy in exchange for free Web hosting and access to its social features. "Free" comes at a cost. Here's snippet of what "they" know about you. 
  
 This is exactly the type of scenario that Eben Moglen, a Columbia University law professor and founder of the Software Freedom Law Center, warned of at a seminar about privacy in cloud computing last month. I wouldn't have imagined that MySpace would be one of the aggressive purveyors of personal data. 
  
 In his talk, Moglen advocated development of peer-to-peer social networks in which users retain ownership of their data. His suggestion is looking more appealing (and prophetic) now that one of the biggest names in social networking has sold out its users' privacy. 
  
 [NOTE: The original version of this story stated that MySpace was selling data; in fact, Infochimps is the seller, through a revenue-sharing agreement with MySpace. MySpace has released the following statement: 
  
 MySpace is not selling user data to Infochimps. MySpace provides developers, including companies such as Infochimps, with free access to publicly available real-time data (such as status updates, music, photos, videos) using our Real Time Stream feed. We have identified the need for third-party developers who can't handle the size of our full feed to still have access to the data in a different format. For this reason Infochimps is offering developers a pre-packaged version of our Real Time Stream, as a value-added service.

A:
In a scenario privacy advocates have warned about, MySpace has started selling user data to third parties—and you may be surprised to hear what a low price your private data goes for. A whopping 24 hours of MySpace's data stream is sold for a mere $30 by one firm, a sign of how hard up MySpace has gotten as it falls ever farther behind rival Facebook. "Turning to selling off of data streams sounds like desperation to me," Matthew Humphries writes on geek.com. Desperate or not, MySpace is a sobering reminder that social media sites, and not their users, own content users post to the sites—a reason online privacy expert Eben Moglen recently called for peer-to-peer social networks where users retain ownership of their data, PC World reports.
